Pediatric Skin Disorders
Pediatric skin disorders include a wide range of conditions affecting infants, children, and adolescents. Children’s skin is more sensitive and prone to infections, allergies, and inflammatory conditions due to developing immunity and environmental exposure. These conditions may be temporary or chronic and can cause discomfort, itching, or cosmetic concerns. Early diagnosis and age-appropriate treatment are essential to ensure healthy skin and prevent long-term complications.
