Pediatric Dermatology: From Birthmarks to Acne (and many things in between!)

Pediatric dermatologists treat conditions of the skin, hair, and nails in patients as young as newborns, through childhood and adolescence, and into young adulthood. While some patients require only observation and reassurance, others need advanced diagnostic evaluation, chronic medical treatment, or laser and other sophisticated surgical therapy. Dr. Jane Bellet—a pediatric dermatologist and dermatologic surgeon—joins us in this episode to discuss a broad range of conditions which affect children (and worry parents), from common birthmarks and sunburns, to excessive sweating and rare vascular disorders, and beyond.
