Pediatric dermatology focuses on diagnosing and treating skin conditions in children, from infants to adolescents.
What is it?
Pediatric dermatology is a specialized branch of dermatology focused on diagnosing and treating skin conditions in infants, children and adolescents. Children's skin is delicate and differs from adult skin, requiring a more tailored approach to care. Our team is trained to manage a wide range of skin concerns unique to younger patients, from common rashes to more complex conditions.
At Huntington Dermatology, we welcome patients of all ages. Our providers specialize in diagnosing and treating skin conditions in children and adolescents, and are experienced in managing the most common skin issues that affect this age group. Some of the conditions we treat include acne, atopic dermatitis/eczema, diaper rash, birthmarks, warts, molluscum contagiosum, impetigo, contact dermatitis, psoriasis, hemangiomas and hair or nail disorders, among others.
HOW HUNTINGTON DERMATOLOGY CAN HELP
Our team is committed to providing expert care in a child-friendly, compassionate environment. We take the time to educate both parents and young patients about their condition and treatment options, ensuring a positive experience in what could otherwise be a scary or unfamiliar setting. Our goal is to address the underlying cause of skin issues while also managing any cosmetic concerns that may affect a child’s confidence. We strive to create a space where both children and parents feel at ease.
