Pediatric Dermatology

When skin conditions affect infants, children and adolescents, pediatric dermatologists at Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital are ready to help. As childhood skin conditions bring not only physical but also psychological challenges, we make it our priority to help prevent permanent scarring and address concerns of patients and families.

Our pediatric dermatology team also offers expertise in diagnosing and treating a variety of skin conditions, including atopic dermatitis, acne, birthmarks, psoriasis, alopecia areata, hemangiomas (link to new page) vitiligo, infections and genetic skin diseases. In addition, we conduct advanced research and clinical trials to discover the causes and find breakthrough treatments for childhood skin diseases.

Laser therapy and interventional radiology are some of the tools we use to treat them.
