Common Pediatric Skin Conditions

The most frequent childhood skin disorder is eczema (atopic dermatitis)—a chronic, itchy rash linked to sensitive skin. Parents are encouraged to use fragrance-free soaps, gentle detergents, and daily moisturizers to help manage flare-ups.

Other common conditions seen in children and teens include:

  • Acne and hormonal breakouts

  • Fungal infections such as ringworm or athlete’s foot

  • Molluscum contagiosum (viral bumps common in kids)

  • Vascular growths or birthmarks such as hemangiomas

Early Treatment Matters

Prompt evaluation by a board-certified dermatologist helps prevent worsening or scarring and provides long-term relief for developing skin. The pediatric team at MD Claiborne Dermatology specializes in making young patients comfortable while educating families on effective home and clinical care routines.
