Paediatric Dermatology FAQs

Skin problems are very common in young people, with conditions like eczema, acne, warts, and rashes affecting many children and teenagers at some stage. Most concerns are manageable with early diagnosis and tailored treatment, helping to reduce discomfort and improve quality of life.

If your child or teenager has a persistent, worsening, or distressing skin issue — including eczema, severe acne, unexplained rashes, or hair loss — it's advisable to see a specialist. Early intervention can help manage symptoms effectively and prevent complications.

Treatment options include topical therapies, such as medicated creams, and procedures like cryotherapy. In many cases, these viral skin lesions can resolve naturally over time, but treatment may be recommended if they are painful, spreading, or affecting your child's confidence.

Acne is very common during adolescence due to hormonal changes. Mild acne can often be managed with gentle skincare and topical treatments. However, if it becomes severe, painful, or affects your teenager's self-esteem, specialist care can offer a range of effective options, including prescription creams and medications.

Most birthmarks and moles in children and teenagers are harmless, but any changes in size, shape, or colour should be checked by a dermatologist. Our specialists can assess these skin lesions, monitor them over time, and offer reassurance or treatment if necessary.

Alongside medical treatment, we offer guidance for parents and carers, advice on daily skincare routines, and — when appropriate — emotional support for older children and teenagers whose skin conditions impact confidence and wellbeing.
