Why do you need to see them?
If you think your child might have an issue with their skin, take them to see their pediatrician. If your child needs to see a pediatric dermatologist, the pediatrician will refer them. Pediatric dermatologists treat the skin comprehensively. Any rash, irritation, burn, or another surface-level skin problem is within their practice, as well as issues related to hair and nails.
What do they do?
Pediatric dermatologists are clinicians who diagnose and treat disorders of the skin, hair, and nails in children. They commonly treat skin conditions such as birthmarks, dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, allergic reactions, vitiligo (loss of skin pigment), and others.
They may also perform procedures such as the removal of skin growths (e.g., warts, cysts, moles), laser treatments, skin biopsies, and treatment of skin cancer. In addition, they may prescribe medication and develop long-term treatment plans for chronic issues.
