Understanding Pediatric Dermatology
Pediatric dermatology focuses on diagnosing and treating skin, hair, and nail conditions in infants, children, and adolescents. Children’s skin can react differently to various conditions and treatments compared to adults, which is why specialized pediatric dermatologists are crucial. Our experts understand these unique differences and provide tailored care to meet the specific needs of young patients.
