Skin concerns in children
Children’s skin is more delicate and reacts differently from adult skin. Common concerns include eczema, nappy rash, birthmarks, warts, molluscum, fungal infections, head lice, hair loss and, in teenagers, acne.
Many treatments are adjusted or avoided in children, so a dermatologist’s assessment helps choose what is safe and effective.
How children's skin is treated
Treatment is planned with parents and explained in simple terms to the child.
