Children’s skin is different than adult skin

A child’s skin is subject to many developmental changes and hormonal fluctuations that don’t affect adult skin. Certain skin conditions may present differently in children than in adults, making diagnosis tricky for general dermatologists who are not attuned to the nuances of children’s skin.

At the same time, pediatricians may lack the specialized dermatologic knowledge needed to diagnose and treat anything but the most simple pediatric skin conditions. Whether your teen suffers from chronic acne, you’re concerned about your newborn’s vascular birthmark, or you want to determine whether your first-grader’s skin condition indicates a more serious underlying problem, you need a specialist with the expertise to meet the unique skin care needs of young patients.

A child-focused approach to skin care

At S2 Skin Care, Pediatric Dermatology is one of our specialties. We offer the most advanced, comprehensive dermatologic care for children of all ages, from newborns and toddlers through teens and young adults.

But, our approach goes beyond just offering the highest quality medical care. We understand that, for young children, a doctor’s visit can be frightening and overwhelming. We recognize that many teens are very sensitive about their body image and their privacy.

We realize that our young patients have emotional needs and social concerns in addition to their physical complaints. That’s why we’re dedicated to offering a warm, supportive, and child-friendly atmosphere.

We offer comprehensive treatment.

S2 Skin Care offers the most advanced treatment options for the full range of pediatric dermatology conditions. We’re here for you and your child every step of the way, from initial diagnosis and treatment through follow-up and ongoing preventative care.
