Paediatric dermatology deals with the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of skin diseases in children, whose skin has specific features and needs dedicated expertise. While many common childhood rashes are managed by paediatricians, conditions such as atopic dermatitis, recurrent skin infections, warts, molluscum contagiosum and atypical moles benefit from specialist dermatologic assessment.
At MAVIT, close cooperation between the dermatologist and the child’s parents is essential to manage atopic dermatitis, reduce itch and minimise the risk of secondary infections such as impetigo, molluscum and viral warts. Another key aspect is the evaluation of paediatric moles, with regular dermoscopy or digital mole mapping and structured education on sun protection, since excessive, unprotected sun exposure in childhood is a major risk factor for melanoma in adult life.
Therapeutic perspectives
At MAVIT, therapeutic options in paediatric dermatology include curettage for molluscum contagiosum, cryotherapy for common warts, CO₂ laser for small hyperkeratotic lesions, skin biopsy in doubtful cases and surgical removal of suspicious lesions. The aim is to combine early and accurate diagnosis with gentle, targeted treatments and long-term support for both child and family
