What is a board-certified pediatric dermatologist?

A board-certified pediatric dermatologist specializes in treating children from birth through age 19 for a wide range of skin, nail, and hair conditions. These specialists undergo an additional year or more of training focused specifically on the unique needs of infants, children, and teens. Many also have comprehensive training in general pediatrics, giving them an even deeper understanding of child-focused healthcare.

Signs it’s time to see a pediatric dermatologist:

Your child was born with a hair, skin, or nail abnormality

A pediatric dermatologist can determine if the condition requires treatment, requires additional testing, or can simply be monitored for changes.

Sudden changes or bothersome symptoms

Any sudden changes in color, texture, size, or shape, as well as increased pain or itchiness at the site, should be promptly evaluated by a pediatric dermatologist.

The condition won’t go away

Conditions such as acne, eczema, warts, and hair loss can persist or progress despite treatment at home. These are all good reasons to come into the office.
