Paediatric dermatology

Paediatric dermatology is a specialty of this area of medicine that is based on the study, prevention and treatment of the health and the constitution of the skin of children. Through infancy, there are some diseases typical of this stage that may appear, and those illnesses that are typical in adults affect children and adolescents differently. Among the most frequent conditions in children are dermatitis (seborrheic, atopic or nappy rash), infections (warts, impetus), genetic diseases, acne, angiomas, or vascular lesions, among many others. In addition, since children's skin is different, it requires specialised care and treatment.
