How We Treat
What Is Pediatric Dermatology?
Pediatric dermatology is the area of dermatology focused on diagnosing and treating skin, hair and nail conditions in babies, children and adolescents. A consultation can help evaluate baby eczema, childhood rashes, paediatric skin infections, childhood and teen acne, birthmarks, warts, allergic reactions, heat rash, scalp flaking, hair loss and nail changes.
Common Pediatric Dermatology Conditions We Treat
Baby Eczema
Baby eczema can cause dry, rough, itchy or red patches. Care may include moisturising routines, gentle bathing advice, avoidance of irritants and doctor-recommended creams. Seek guidance if eczema is severe, affecting sleep or becoming infected.
Childhood Rashes
Rashes can occur due to viral infections, allergies, heat, eczema, insect bites, fungal infection or medicines. Persistent, recurring or rapidly spreading rashes should be examined.
Pediatric Skin Infections
These may include fungal, bacterial or viral lesions such as impetigo, molluscum and warts. Treatment depends on the cause. Avoid sharing towels, clothing or combs until assessed.
Childhood Acne and Teen Acne
Early treatment can help reduce breakouts, post-acne pigmentation and long-term scars. Plans may include gentle skincare, topical medicines and advice against picking lesions.
Birthmarks
Some birthmarks only need observation, while others should be assessed because they may change, grow, bleed or affect function. Treatment is not necessary for every birthmark.
When Does a Child’s Rash Need Urgent Care?
Seek emergency medical care immediately if a child has a rash along with difficulty breathing, swelling of lips or tongue, stiff neck, confusion, unusual drowsiness, a seizure, a non-blanching rash that does not fade when pressed, a rapidly spreading blistering rash, or high fever with the child appearing very unwell.
