What Is Pediatric Dermatology?

Pediatric Dermatology is the branch of Dermatology dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment and ongoing care of conditions affecting the skin, hair, nails, mucous membranes and scalp in babies, children and teenagers.

Children’s skin has its own characteristics and may develop conditions that differ from those seen in adults. Some are common and benign, while others require medical assessment, appropriate treatment or ongoing monitoring.

At Living Clinic, we assess dermatological conditions at every stage of a child’s development, from newborns and babies to school-age children and teenagers.

Our approach takes into account the child’s age, symptoms, the progression of the lesions, personal and family medical history, skincare used at home, and the impact of the condition on the quality of life of both the child and their family.

When should you schedule a Pediatric Dermatology Consultation?

You should schedule a Pediatric Dermatology Consultation whenever your child has a persistent or recurring condition, or discomfort affecting the skin, hair, nails or scalp.

Even seemingly minor changes may require medical assessment, particularly when they persist over time, appear suddenly, cause itching, pain or inflammation, affect appearance or cause concern.

A Pediatric Dermatology Consultation may be recommended in situations such as:

Atopic dermatitis, eczema and dry skin

Assessment of dry, sensitive, red or irritated skin, with flaking or itching. Atopic dermatitis is one of the most common skin conditions in children and may require medical guidance to control symptoms and prevent flare-ups.

Diaper rash and skin irritation

Diagnosis of persistent irritation in the diaper area, redness, discomfort, small sores or a suspected associated infection. The assessment helps distinguish common irritation from other dermatological conditions.

Childhood and teenage acne

Assessment and follow-up of acne in children and teenagers, including persistent spots, oily skin, inflammation, post-inflammatory marks and the risk of scarring. Medical care can help control acne and reduce the likelihood of lasting marks.

Warts, molluscum contagiosum and skin infections

Assessment of warts, molluscum contagiosum, impetigo, ringworm, scabies, head lice and other skin infections. The consultation helps identify the cause, provide appropriate care guidance and reduce the risk of transmission where applicable.

Moles, marks and pigmented lesions

Assessment of congenital moles, moles that appear during childhood, light or dark marks, and lesions that change in colour, size or shape. Dermatological monitoring is important for tracking skin changes over time.

Haemangiomas and vascular lesions

Assessment of haemangiomas and other vascular lesions that may be present at birth or appear during the first few weeks of life. Some lesions only require monitoring, while others should be followed more closely.

Urticaria, skin allergies and itching

Diagnosis of red marks, raised patches, intense itching, recurring episodes of urticaria or suspected skin reactions. The consultation helps assess possible triggers and determine the most appropriate medical guidance.

Hair loss, scalp and nail conditions

Assessment of localised or diffuse hair loss, flaking, cradle cap, oiliness, an itchy scalp, and nails that are brittle, detached, misshapen, inflamed or have changed colour.

Pediatric Dermatology by age group

At Living Clinic, we tailor each consultation to the child’s age and stage of development, as dermatological conditions can vary considerably throughout growth.

Newborns and babies

In the first few months of life, common conditions include diaper rash, cradle cap, atopic dermatitis, birthmarks, congenital moles, haemangiomas and skin irritation.

The consultation allows us to reassure parents, distinguish common conditions from those that require follow-up, and recommend the most appropriate care for the baby’s skin.

School-age children

In school-age children, we frequently assess warts, molluscum contagiosum, fungal infections, eczema, urticaria, nail conditions, moles, skin marks and sensitive skin.

Whenever there is a risk of transmission, we also provide guidance on the appropriate precautions to take at school, at home and during sports activities.

Teenagers

During adolescence, acne is one of the most common reasons for consultation. Excess oiliness, seborrhoeic dermatitis, hair loss, stretch marks, psoriasis, nail conditions, skin marks and concerns about moles may also occur.

At this stage, we also consider the emotional impact of skin conditions and aim to support each teenager with clarity, respect and understanding.

What happens during a Pediatric Dermatology Consultation?

The consultation begins with a detailed clinical assessment. We listen to the parents and, whenever possible, to the child or teenager, to understand the symptoms, how long they have been present, how they have progressed and what care or treatments have already been tried.

We then examine the skin, hair, nails, mucous membranes or scalp, depending on the reason for the consultation. Whenever necessary, we may use additional assessment methods, such as dermoscopy.

After the assessment, we explain the diagnosis or possible diagnoses, provide guidance on care at home and define the most appropriate medical plan.

Our aim is for the family to leave the consultation with a clear, reassuring explanation tailored to the child’s situation.
