Caring Treatment for Pediatric Skin Conditions and Dermatology

Pediatric dermatology focuses on treatment of children from birth to the teenage years, when skin disorders often first appear. During these years, common diseases such as chicken pox or ringworm can develop, eczema or acne may become present, or birthmarks are first noticed.



What Are The More Common Pediatric Skin Disorders?
Otherwise healthy skin can contain distracting vascular (red) birthmarks, moles or warts, and infants and children are particularly susceptible to eczema. Skin rashes are common, whether they come from allergies or reactions to poison ivy, and ringworm, hives, and cradle cap can all appear. In adolescence, acne is a frequent concern, one that can cause scarring or affect self-esteem.


What Pediatric Dermatology Treatments Are Offered at the Manhattan Center for Dermatology?
We provide diagnosis and treatment for a variety of pediatric skin disorders. We offer excellent medical care for eczema, acne, contact dermatitis, psoriasis, congenital skin disorders, and removal of warts, vascular (red) birthmarks and moles. Birthmarks can be eliminated or reduced, and we also provide other services to aid or heal diseased or damaged skin.

Young children may be unable to communicate or answer medical questions and may become impatient unless special care is given to their needs. We are experienced with dealing with children who are often uneasy and uncomfortable. Our procedures take this into account, and where possible specialized equipment that is more their size and less frightening to them is used.

In addition to prescribing necessary creams, lotions, or antibiotics to treat infections, we offer a full range of both surgical and non-invasive procedures that can be used to treat many conditions.


What specialized lasers and devices do you have for the pediatric population?
At Manhattan Center for Dermatology, we use a specialized laser (Vbeam®) for treatment of pediatric vascular (red) lesions. We also use a yag laser for treatment of brown lesions. Finally, we have photodynamic therapy and laser therapy to treat acne.
