Treatments of conditions, ailments, and infections related to the skin for children, adolescents, and teens.
What is it?
Children and adolescents can experience a wide range of skin conditions—from common rashes and warts to eczema, acne, molluscum, and birthmarks.
Pediatric skin can be more sensitive than adult skin, and certain conditions may look different or progress more rapidly in young patients. Accurate diagnosis and child-friendly communication are essential.
Untreated skin conditions can affect not just health but also a child’s emotional wellbeing and confidence. Pediatric dermatology also includes management of rare genetic skin disorders, hemangiomas, and nail/hair abnormalities.
How is it treated?
Our team takes a gentle, educational approach to caring for pediatric patients at Charlotte Dermatology. Providers use age-appropriate language and encourage caregiver involvement to ensure comfort during exams. After an initial assessment, we’ll develop a treatment plan tailored to your child’s specific diagnosis, whether that includes topical therapies, prescription medications, or in-office procedures.
We emphasize clear education to help families manage ongoing conditions like eczema or acne from home. Pediatric dermatology services are available at all locations, with convenient scheduling to accommodate busy families in the Charlotte area.
