Pediatric Dermatology

Skin diseases and conditions affect children differently (in some cases exclusively), and a pediatric dermatologist understands these differences.

Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, more than 3.5 million skin cancers in over 2 million people are diagnosed each year. It is projected that one in five Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime, and that is why experts recommend seeing a dermatologist on an annual basis for early detection screenings.
Some of the most common reasons to make an appointment at a dermatology office include: acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, and a variety of other skin conditions. A dermatologist is specifically trained in the treatment methods and the most current technology available to treat skin conditions, sun damage and other aesthetic conditions, including hair loss, scars, melasma, wrinkles, and other skin changes associated with aging. A Dermatologist may refer you to a doctor in another specialty when recognition of skin disorders may indicate related systemic or infectious diseases.
