Pediatric Dermatology: Caring for Your Child’s Skin at Every Stage

Healthy skin plays an essential role in your child’s overall well-being—from protecting against infection to supporting confidence during important developmental years. At Redwood Empire Dermatology, provides compassionate, comprehensive care for infants, children, and teens across Sonoma County.

Whether your child is dealing with everyday rashes, acne, birthmarks, or more complex skin conditions, our board-certified dermatologists are here to help.

 

Common Pediatric Skin Concerns We Treat

Children experience many of the same skin concerns as adults, but their treatment needs are unique. Our team offers expert care for a wide range of pediatric dermatology conditions, including:

Eczema & Rashes

Eczema (atopic dermatitis) is one of the most common skin conditions in children. We help families identify triggers, manage flare-ups, and develop gentle, effective long-term treatment plans.

Acne in Children & Teens

Acne isn’t just a teenage issue—many children develop acne earlier than expected. We offer treatments tailored to your child’s age and skin type, from topical therapies to advanced in-office procedures.

Warts

Warts are extremely common in children due to developing immune systems. Our Healdsburg dermatology team offers multiple safe and effective wart-removal options, including cryotherapy and prescription treatments.

Birthmarks & Moles

Monitoring moles and birthmarks during childhood is important to ensure they develop normally. We provide thorough skin checks and ongoing monitoring to keep your child’s skin healthy as they grow.

Skin Infections

Children are particularly prone to bacterial, fungal, and viral skin infections. Early diagnosis and treatment help prevent discomfort and reduce the risk of spreading.

  • Warts that spread or don’t improve
  • Birthmarks or moles that change in size, color, or shape
