Dermatology for Children: Treating Pediatric Skin Conditions

Schedule an Appointment

Your child’s skin is delicate and prone to various conditions that require specialized care. Pediatric dermatology focuses on diagnosing and treating skin issues in infants, children, and adolescents. Understanding common pediatric skin conditions and their treatments can help you ensure your child’s skin remains healthy and happy! It’s important to understand how to treat skin conditions so that your child stays comfortable and can enjoy life without the fear of certain skin conditions.

Understanding Common Pediatric Skin Conditions

Various skin conditions may affect your child. As a parent, you must be able to identify some of these skin conditions so that you know when to seek help from your dermatologist. Knowing how to spot certain conditions can help you get the relief your child needs as soon as possible.

Eczema is a chronic condition characterized by dry, itchy, and inflamed skin. It often appears on the face, elbows, and knees. Treatment consists of regularly moisturizing your child’s skin and avoiding any triggers that can exacerbate the condition. In some cases, your child might need topical steroids or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory creams.

Diaper rash is a common issue in infants, caused by prolonged exposure to moisture and irritants in diapers. You should be sure to keep your child’s diaper area clean and dry and apply zinc oxide to protect their skin.

Acne is not only a teen problem; it can also affect children. Treatment varies based on the severity of your child’s acne. You must help your child maintain a healthy skincare routine and talk to their dermatologist about finding the best treatment for them!

Karen F.

I went for a facial with Reganne, and it was wonderful! She was the right balance of chatty and quiet so that I felt personally welcomed but also able to relax and soak in all the luxurious treatment. She also was so kind and considerate, being very careful which products she used because she knew I am sensitive to some fragrances. I scheduled my appointment for the end of my regular work week, and now, this evening I’m feeling fabulous!

RJ and MJ Olson

We both chose the practice for our dermatology well checks and any issues that may be discovered during those visits. Most of the practitioners have been great. I also enjoy the facial services they offer at the practice. Both estheticians I have seen there have been wonderful! They have both been very accommodating given multiple allergies that can make my skin reactive. I look forward to my time with the esthetician.

Cathy Robinson

The entire staff is courteous and very helpful. They were right on time. They work together well. They are accepting of questions and are willing to answer the questions. They offer reminders for follow up appointments. I am very pleased to be a patient of this office.

Susan Zeller

As a new patient I greatly appreciated getting an appointment with a few days of submitting my application form instead of a long wait. The staff at the front desk were very pleasant, efficient and helpful in making this happen. The service I received from my doctor was good.

David M was great in all key areas that were important to me. Skill, bedside manner, updates during the surgery and his summary after the procedure. His nurse was also first rate. Thank you both for all that you did for me. NP Donna has treated me previously at this practice and I echo my comments here for her and the nurses, reception and scheduling employees. Thank you all for a great experience

Jennifer Gemmell

This was the most pleasant doctors appointment I’ve ever experienced. The wait wasn’t too long and there were so many beautiful and interesting things to look at while I was there: beautiful art well presented with identification and background details, fascinating terrariums and other plants, and even an Asian meditation garden. Dr. Macallister was very personable, professional and thorough. I was quite happy with her care. The staff too, were professional and pleasant.

Saw Donna and Megan, had a concerning spot on my face. I needed an injection and they put me eat ease and really helped me to feel comfortable and relaxed. Even though the needle stung a little bit I was completely distracted with easy conversation to keep my mind off of what was going on. They were incredibly reassuring and informative and I love going to see them! Thank you Donna and Megan for a quick and easy visit! :)

Don Wood

Great experience from the time I arrived for the appointment til I was finished. Donna Brigham is the most professional specailist I've seen in quite some time. She is very good at explaining everything in layman's terms. Her bedside manner puts you at ease and makes you very comfortable with the procedures she is doing.
