Pediatric Dermatology
Gentle Care for Growing Skin
At Herndon Dermatology, we understand that children’s skin requires specialized care. Our pediatric dermatology services provide expert diagnosis and treatment for infants, children, and teens with skin conditions ranging from common rashes to chronic disorders. We partner with families to deliver compassionate care in a kid-friendly environment.
What is Pediatric Dermatology?
Pediatric dermatology is a subspecialty focused on diagnosing and treating skin, hair, and nail conditions in children. Because children’s skin is different from adults and constantly developing, our dermatologists use tailored approaches that are both effective and gentle to ensure the best outcomes for young patients.
How Pediatric Dermatology Works
Our pediatric dermatologists evaluate each child’s symptoms, medical history, and unique skin needs. Treatments may include topical therapies, oral medications, light therapy, or lifestyle guidance. With a family-centered approach, we ensure that care is understandable, manageable, and effective for both parents and children.
