Pediatric dermatology is the specialty of medicine for children (newborns-adolescents) with skin disorders. Children are not always able to say what is bothering them. They cannot always answer medical questions or be patient and helpful during a medical exam. Pediatric dermatologists know how to examine and treat children in a way that puts them at ease, in kid-friendly offices using medical equipment designed for children.
With our specialized training and experience, pediatric dermatologists know what’s normal growth and development in a child, and when to worry. Pediatric dermatologists are experts in the correct diagnosis and management of childhood skin diseases, including proper pediatric medication management.
Our pediatric dermatology team offers some of the newest technology in lasers, in particular for the treatment of vascular birthmarks such as port-wine stains and hemangiomas. Sedation or topical anesthetics are used to make these procedures more comfortable for children.
