Dermatology

The skin of a child is much more sensitive and tender than that of an adult. It is a sensitive “indicator” of the baby’s condition, because many disorders in a child’s first manifest themselves on the skin in the form of redness, rash, and flaking. Often parents try to “cure” these skin manifestations of a child by themselves, forgetting that self-treatment can aggravate the problem. Only a specialist, a qualified pediatric dermatologist, can find out the true reason and start the treatment in time.
