Pediatric Dermatology

by Brian Alverson, MD

Pediatric dermatologists are doctors who specialize in treating children’s skin, hair, and nails. They treat children of all ages, from infants to teenagers, diagnosing and treating a wide variety of ailments, including acne and skin cancer.

The number of syndromic associations and potential morbid or life-threatening diseases lurking behind the veil of a skin disorder is truly staggering. One has only to flip through a few pages of Dr. Bolognia’s Dermatology textbook to appreciate this fact. But the most common disorders—atopic dermatitis, hemangiomas, warts, seborrheic dermatitis—can be treated by a well-equipped pediatrician with the right knowledge.

It is important to note that children also emotionally experience health issues in a much different way than adults. Thus, pediatric dermatologists train in putting children at ease in medical settings, which is important for diseases that are so visible.
