When Should Your Child See a Dermatologist?

Many parents wait too long.

You should consider a visit if your child has:

• A rash that doesn’t go away
• Persistent acne
• Itching or irritated skin
• Unusual spots or growths
• Skin infections

For teenagers, an initial visit around ages 12–15 is often helpful, especially for acne prevention and skin care guidance.

During your child’s visit:

• We examine the skin

No unnecessary treatments.
No aggressive approach.
