Frequently Asked Questions

1. At what age should children begin visiting a dermatologist?

There is no specific age at which a child should see a pediatric dermatologist. Visits are largely problem-based. For instance, if a child has atopic dermatitis/eczema visiting an eczema specialist can help control the disease faster. Early intervention for acne can reduce the risk of scarring.

Pediatric dermatology is essential because children’s skin differs from that of adults, requiring specialized skin care for kids. Skin conditions like eczema and acne often present uniquely in children. This necessitates expert diagnosis and treatment tailored to their developmental stage from pediatric skin specialists. Early intervention by pediatric dermatologists can prevent complications and provide long-term solutions for chronic conditions. Additionally, board certified pediatric dermatologists understand how skin issues affect a child’s emotional well-being and self-esteem, ensuring compassionate, child-friendly care. This specialized focus on young patients makes pediatric dermatology crucial for lifelong skin health.

Eczema, or atopic dermatitis, tends to be most severe in infants and young children. It often starts in the first 6 months to 1 year of life and can cause intense itching, redness, and inflammation, primarily on the face, scalp, and limbs. While eczema can improve as children grow older, some may continue to experience flare-ups into adolescence and adulthood. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to manage symptoms and prevent infection or discomfort, particularly during these formative years when the condition is typically at its peak. Dr. Weiss is an eczema specialist and is a frequent lecturer on the management of the condition.

Yes, it is important for babies to follow a skincare routine, especially for those with sensitive or dry skin. A proper skincare regimen can help protect a baby’s delicate skin, which is thinner and more prone to dryness, irritation, and conditions like eczema. Expert pediatric dermatology clinics emphasize regular moisturizing with gentle, fragrance-free lotions to help lock in hydration, while mild cleansers preserve the skin’s natural barrier. Sun protection is also essential, as infant skin is highly sensitive to UV rays. A simple routine can promote healthier skin and prevent potential skin issues from worsening.

Sunscreen should be applied to children starting at 6 months of age by consulting a board-certified pediatric dermatologist. For babies younger than 6 months, it’s generally advised to keep them out of direct sunlight, as their skin is much more sensitive and vulnerable to UV damage. When using sunscreen on older infants and children, choose a broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher, that is mineral-based (avoid chemical sunscreens). Reapply regularly, especially after swimming or sweating, for maximum protection.
