Teen & Pediatric Dermatology

Expert Skin Care for Babies, Children & Teens

Healthy skin starts early. At Zand Dermatology, we understand that children and teenagers have unique skin care needs. From your baby's first rash to persistent teenage acne, our dermatology team provides personalized, compassionate care to help young patients feel comfortable and confident in their skin.

Whether your child is experiencing eczema, acne, an unexplained rash, or another skin concern, we're here to help families find effective treatment options

Teen Acne Treatment

Acne is one of the most common skin concerns during adolescence. Hormonal changes, excess oil production, and clogged pores can contribute to breakouts that affect both skin health and self-confidence.

At Zand Dermatology, we develop individualized acne treatment plans based on each teenager's skin type, acne severity, and personal needs.

Our acne treatment options may include:

• Prescription topical medications
• Oral acne medications when appropriate
• Isotretinoin (Accutane) for severe or persistent acne
• Guidance on daily skin care routines
• Treatment plans to help reduce breakouts and prevent acne scarring

Our goal is to help teenagers achieve healthier skin while building positive skin care habits that last into adulthood.

Eczema, Rashes & Sensitive Skin

Children and teenagers can develop a variety of skin conditions that cause itching, redness, irritation, and discomfort.

Our dermatology team evaluates and manages common pediatric skin concerns, including:

• Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis): Dry, itchy, inflamed skin that may require ongoing management.
• Contact Dermatitis: Skin irritation or allergic reactions triggered by certain products, materials, or environmental exposures.
• Skin Rashes: Evaluation of unexplained, recurring, or persistent rashes.
• Sensitive Skin: Personalized recommendations for gentle skin care and protecting the skin barrier.
• Other Inflammatory Skin Conditions: Evaluation and treatment based on each patient's symptoms and diagnosis.
• Other Inflammatory Skin Conditions: Evaluation and treatment based on each patient's symptoms and diagnosis.

We work closely with families to identify possible triggers, relieve discomfort, and develop manageable treatment routines.

Infant & Baby Dermatology

Even the youngest patients can experience skin conditions that require specialized attention.

At Zand Dermatology, we welcome infants and young children for evaluation and treatment of common skin concerns.

Common infant and pediatric skin conditions include:

• Baby Acne: Small bumps and breakouts that can appear during infancy.
• Diaper Rash: Persistent irritation and inflammation in the diaper area.
• Cradle Cap: Flaky or scaly patches commonly found on a baby's scalp.
• Infant Eczema: Dry, red, itchy skin that can affect babies and young children.
• Birthmarks: Evaluation of pigmented and vascular birthmarks.

Frequently Asked Questions

At what age can my child see a dermatologist?
Children can see a dermatologist at any age, including during infancy. If your baby has a persistent rash, eczema, unusual birthmark, or another concerning skin condition, a dermatology evaluation may be helpful.

When should my teenager see a dermatologist for acne?
If acne is persistent, painful, causing scars, or affecting your teen's confidence, it may be time to seek professional treatment. Early intervention can help manage breakouts and reduce the risk of permanent scarring.

Do you treat eczema in babies and children?
Yes. Our dermatology team evaluates eczema and provides age-appropriate treatment recommendations to help manage symptoms and protect the skin barrier.

Can teenagers receive Accutane treatment?
Isotretinoin (commonly known as Accutane) may be appropriate for certain teenagers with severe or treatment-resistant acne. A dermatologist will determine whether this medication is suitable based on the patient's age, medical history, and acne severity. Treatment requires appropriate monitoring and compliance with applicable safety requirements.

Do you treat babies with rashes?
Yes. We evaluate common infant skin conditions, including diaper rash, cradle cap, eczema, and other persistent skin irritations.
