Medical Dermatology
Pediatric Dermatology
Specialized skin care for infants, children, and adolescents.
Children have unique dermatological needs that require specialized knowledge and a gentle approach. At Rao Dermatology, we are experienced in diagnosing and treating the full range of pediatric skin conditions, from common childhood rashes to more complex dermatological concerns.
Common conditions we treat in children include eczema (atopic dermatitis), acne, warts, molluscum contagiosum, birthmarks, fungal infections, and allergic skin reactions. We also evaluate concerning moles and other growths in children.
Our approach to pediatric dermatology emphasizes gentle, age-appropriate treatments and clear communication with both parents and young patients. We understand that children may be anxious about medical visits, and we strive to create a comfortable, welcoming environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
At what age should my child first see a dermatologist?
There is no specific age requirement. We recommend bringing your child to a dermatologist if they have a persistent skin condition, a concerning mole or birthmark, severe or widespread eczema, or any skin issue that is not responding to basic care. We welcome patients of all ages.
Is eczema in children curable?
Many children outgrow eczema as they get older, but it can be a chronic condition. Our treatment approach focuses on managing symptoms, preventing flare-ups, repairing the skin barrier, and keeping your child comfortable. With proper treatment, most children with eczema can live comfortably.
