Pediatric Dermatology
The Pediatric Dermatology Center is devoted to the diagnosis, treatment,
and research of skin disorders in children and the management of
cutaneous problems amenable to laser therapy.
Every effort is made to assist the referring physician in evaluating
the special needs of children with skin disease. Emphasis is placed
on educating the patient and family about the nature and treatment
of each dermatologic condition.
Some of the skin disorders treated include:
- acne
- atopic dermatitis
- alopecia areata
- blistering dermatoses
- cutaneous infections and infestations
- genodermatoses
- hemangiomas
- port wine strains
- psoriasis
- urticaria
- warts (common, plantar, genital)
Additional diagnostic and therapeutic services include:
- KOH preparation and fungal cultures
- Tzanck preparation for viral infection
- diagnostic and excisional skin biopsies
- cryotherapy
The Center also will help coordinate the services of other specialties
involved in skin care, including genetics, plastic surgery, pediatric
surgery, gastroenterology, oral surgery, and infectious diseases.
We are also involved in a collaborative Dermatology Web Atlas project
with the Department of Pediatrics.
