Eczema Is a Common Ailment in children

Eczema or atopic dermatitis is the most condition seen in children. It occurs in nearly one in five children. If in such condition, they swim in chlorinated pools, it might irritate their skin more. But if certain precautions are taken, their eczema should be fine.

Acne in children

Acne is a common disorder seen in kids and teenagers nearing puberty. It is a disorder of the hair follicles and sebaceous glands. In acne, sebaceous glands get clogged leading to pimples and cysts mostly on face, chest, upper back, shoulder, neck. Our dermatologist will determine the treatment based on your child’s age, overall health, severity of acne, child’s tolerance for medications.

Scabies in children

Scabies is commonly prevalent in children and is caused by skin infestation of tiny mites called Sarcoptes scabiei. These mites burrow in top layer of skin and lay their eggs causing itchy bumps and blisters. A child with scabies becomes extremely cranky as it causes lot of skin irritation. Infants and children can develop the rash on the scalp, palms, and soles of feet.

Warts in children

This is very common in children and almost affects of children. Girls get more warts as compared to boys. Warts are contagious but not harmful. Warts embarrass children especially if they are on the soles of their feet. Hence, it is parent’s responsibility to prevent them and if already present then give proper medications.

Consultation and Diagnosis

We are dedicated to providing children who are experiencing discomfort, pain or embarrassment from a dermatological condition with a fast diagnosis and appropriate management options.

Usually, a consultation with one of our specialists is all that is needed to diagnose a condition; however, if more in depth analysis is required, we conduct a variety of examinations, including:

• Blood tests;
• Urine analysis;
• Skin biopsy;
• Patch testing for allergies;
• Nail analysis and skin swabs;
• Hair sample examination;
• Dermoscopy; and
• X-rays.

Our Paediatric dermatologists Dr. Deepali Marthinen can assess children with a view to furthering analysis and trying new, approved therapies and medication.
