In pediatric dermatology, we see particularly often:

Neurodermatitis (atopic dermatitis)

Eczema & skin irritations

• allergic or irritant
• Diaper rash

warts

• virus-related skin changes

Parents should seek dermatological advice if:

• itchy or weeping eczema

• Dermoscopy
• For the assessment of moles and skin changes.
• Allergy tests (if needed)
