Frequently Asked Questions About Pediatric Dermatology
When should my child see a dermatologist?
If your child has a rash, eczema, acne, or another skin issue that doesn’t improve with home care, it’s a good time to see a pediatric dermatologist.
What are the most common skin conditions in children?
Common pediatric skin issues include eczema, acne, warts, birthmarks, rashes, and skin infections.
How is pediatric dermatology different from adult dermatology?
Children’s skin is more sensitive and develops differently, so pediatric dermatologists use treatments that are gentle, safe, and age-appropriate.
Can my child see a dermatologist online?
Yes! DirectDerm offers secure teledermatology visits, so families can meet with a board-certified dermatologist from the comfort of home.
Are pediatric skin treatments safe?
Yes. Our dermatologists use treatments that are proven safe and effective for children’s skin.
Can skin conditions like eczema or acne go away on their own?
Some may improve with time, but most benefit from a dermatologist’s care to manage flare-ups and prevent scarring.
