Pediatric Dermatology

Expert Care for Children’s and Adolescents’ Skin, Hair, and Nails

Vanguard Dermatology is committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment where children, adolescents, and their families feel comfortable and supported. With specialized training in pediatric dermatology, she treats a wide variety of skin concerns, from common conditions like eczema, acne, and warts to more complex dermatological issues.

Why Choose a Pediatric Dermatologist?

Children’s and adolescents’ skin requires specialized care. While pediatricians manage general health concerns, a board-certified dermatologist provides expert evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment for skin, hair, and nail conditions that affect young patients.

Common Pediatric Skin Conditions We Treat

Eczema & Skin Rashes

Chronic eczema (atopic dermatitis) can cause dry, itchy, and inflamed skin. We provide personalized treatment plans to help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

Acne & Teenage Skin Concerns

Acne can be frustrating and impact self-esteem. We offer customized acne treatment plans, including topical solutions, oral medications, and skincare recommendations tailored to each patient.

Birthmarks & Moles

If your child has a birthmark or changing moles, early dermatological evaluation is essential. We monitor these changes and provides treatment if needed.

Molluscum, Warts & Skin Infections

Molluscum contagiosum and warts are common viral skin infections. We offer safe and effective treatments to help clear these conditions quickly and comfortably.

Vitiligo & Autoimmune Skin Conditions

Conditions like vitiligo and alopecia require expert care. We provide advanced treatment options to help manage symptoms and restore confidence.

A Welcoming & Inclusive Approach to Pediatric Dermatology

We believes that every child deserves compassionate, high-quality care in a supportive and inclusive environment. We take the time to listen to patients and their families, ensuring that every visit is a positive and reassuring experience.
