Introduction

Welcome to the informative page dedicated to pediatric dermatology and the impact it has on children's health and well-being. At Smith, Arthur F, MD, we are committed to providing the highest quality dermatological care for children of all ages.

The Role of Pediatric Dermatology

Pediatric dermatology focuses on diagnosing and treating skin conditions affecting infants, children, and adolescents. Skin disorders can vary in nature, ranging from common conditions like eczema and acne to more rare and complex diseases.

Our team of experienced dermatologists specializes in addressing various pediatric dermatological concerns. We understand that children require unique care and approach, as their skin is still developing and can react differently to treatments compared to adults.

Comprehensive Pediatric Dermatology Services

Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a common skin condition characterized by itchy, inflamed, and red patches. Our team utilizes the latest advancements in dermatology to provide personalized treatment plans, aiming to reduce flare-ups and manage symptoms effectively.

2. Acne

Adolescent acne can significantly impact a child's self-esteem and confidence. Our pediatric dermatologists work closely with teenagers to develop tailored treatment strategies, incorporating both topical and oral medications to target acne-causing bacteria and manage oil production.
