Neonatology & Clinical Pediatrics

Pediatrics and Neonatal Dermatology

Pediatric dermatology is mainly concerned about skin disorders or conditions such as eczema, warts, hemangiomas, cutaneous melanoma, cutaneous leishmaniosis, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, vitiligo, hives, genetic skin disorders, ringworm and skin cancer. It also includes few minor surgical procedures such as skin biopsies, surgical removal of skin lesions and laser treatment of vascular birthmarks. Many childhood disorders such as infantile hemangioma blood vessel growths are not seen in adults and common conditions such as psoriasis have unique symptoms in children unlike adults.
