Paediatric dermatology focuses on skin, hair and nail conditions affecting infants, children and adolescents. Assessment considers age, growth, medical history and disease-specific symptoms. Treatment approaches are selected according to the child's condition and developmental needs.
Acne is an inflammatory skin condition that develops when hair follicles become blocked with oil and dead skin cells. Treatment may involve topical or oral medication and lifestyle guidance. Early management can reduce inflammation and the risk of acne scarring.
Adolescent acne commonly develops during puberty because of hormonal changes and increased oil production. Management depends on severity, skin sensitivity and the presence of inflammation or scarring. Treatment may include appropriate medication and skin care guidance.
Childhood eczema causes dry, itchy and inflamed skin. Symptoms may fluctuate and can affect sleep and comfort. Management typically involves regular moisturising, trigger assessment and anti-inflammatory medication when indicated. Treatment is tailored to the child's age and disease severity.
Hair loss may develop because of nutritional deficiencies, hormonal changes, genetic factors, inflammatory conditions or other medical causes. Dermatological evaluation helps identify the underlying condition before selecting appropriate treatment. Some patients require laboratory investigations or scalp assessment.
Hair disorders in children may involve patchy hair loss, scalp infections, hair-shaft abnormalities or inflammatory conditions. Evaluation includes examining the scalp and reviewing medical history. Treatment depends on the diagnosis and may differ from approaches used in adults.
Skin allergies can cause itching, redness, swelling or recurring rashes. Dermatological evaluation helps distinguish allergic conditions from irritation, infection and other skin diseases. Management may include identifying triggers, using appropriate medication and protecting the skin barrier.
Vulval dermatoses are skin conditions affecting the external genital area. Symptoms may include itching, irritation, pain or changes in skin appearance. Careful examination is important to identify inflammatory, infectious or other causes and select appropriate treatment.
Chemical peels use carefully selected chemical solutions to exfoliate skin layers. They may be considered for acne, superficial pigmentation and certain texture concerns. The type and strength of peel depend on skin characteristics and treatment goals.
Laser dermatology uses focused light energy to treat selected skin concerns. Different devices may target pigmentation, blood vessels, hair or skin texture. Treatment selection depends on the condition, skin type and potential risks, including pigmentation changes.
Lifestyle factors such as sleep, stress, diet and general health can influence selected skin conditions. Dermatological assessment may include evaluating these factors alongside medical causes. Treatment focuses on evidence-based skin care and appropriate management of the diagnosed disorder.
A cosmetology consultation evaluates concerns about skin appearance, texture or pigmentation. A dermatologist assesses skin type, medical history and treatment expectations before discussing suitable products or procedures. Recommendations should include information about benefits, limitations and possible adverse effects.
