What is Pediatrics?

Pediatric dermatology is a specialised field that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of skin, hair and nail conditions in infants, children and adolescents. Pediatric dermatologists are experts in managing a range of common conditions like eczema, acne, warts and birthmarks as well as rare and complex skin disorders unique to young patients.

At The Skin Hospital our Pediatric care is focused on dermatological skin conditions including diagnosis, treatment and management.

The most common pediatric skin conditions include:

  • Viral Infections: hand, foot and mouth disease and chickenpox
  • Bacterial Infections: impetigo and cellulitis (which may appear like sores or rashes)
  • Fungal Infections: athletes foot (tinea pedis) and tinea varsicolor
  • Parasitic Infections:  scabies is a common itchy rash
