Pediatric dermatology

Skin diseases in children present a special challenge for both the child and parents, significantly affecting their quality of life. The expert team at the Lasàm Clinic has years of clinical experience in treating these conditions, employing state-of-the-art methods and equipment for precise diagnostics and effective, safe treatment.

Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is characterized by itching and dry skin and belongs to a group of atopic diseases alongside asthma and hay fever. It affects 15%-20% of children from an early age.

Atopic skin is extremely dry, sensitive, and highly prone to irritations and infections. Symptoms of atopic dermatitis vary chronically with periods of remission and exacerbation, often triggered by irritants (soap, wool, sweat), emotional stress, infections, allergies, and high temperatures.

Diaper Dermatitis

Diaper dermatitis is inflammation of the skin occurring in the diaper area of infants due to irritation. It thrives in the moist and warm environment under the diaper and mechanical skin damage from friction. Diaper dermatitis is highly prevalent, affecting two-thirds of infants during their diaper-wearing period.

It typically appears between 6 and 9 months of age as varying degrees of redness initially, progressing to blisters, pimples, and sores if inflammation persists. The skin often becomes secondarily infected with bacteria and fungi.

Insect Bites

Insect bites can cause Strophulus infantum, commonly occurring in children aged 2 to 7 years during outdoor activities, mainly in summer and autumn.

This condition manifests as skin changes due to hypersensitivity to insect bites, appearing as reddish nodules and sometimes blisters. Individual lesions last several days, but new outbreaks can prolong the duration of the disease. Due to intense itching, the lesions are often scratched, leading to possible bacterial infections.

Viral Warts

Viral warts are benign skin growths caused by various types of human papillomavirus (HPV), most frequently affecting school-age children.

There are several clinical forms:

Verruca vulgaris
Filiform warts
Verruca plantaris
Verrucae planae juveniles

Molluscum Contagiosum

Molluscum contagiosum is a viral skin disease transmitted through direct contact with infected skin or contaminated objects like toys and bedding, commonly occurring in children in group environment.

It is characterized by small, translucent nodules, 2 to 6 mm in size, resembling normal skin color. The lesions are typically clustered, and in severe cases, there may be hundreds of nodules.

Impetigo Contagiosa

Impetigo contagiosa is a contagious bacterial skin infection predominantly seen in children and is one of the most common infectious dermatoses in this age group. The condition often occurs in warmer months and typically develops at the site of injury or insect bites. It most commonly affects the face, hands, and feet but can also involve other areas of the skin.
