Track 3: Pediatric Dermatology

Pediatric Dermatology

Pediatric Dermatology is a specialized branch of dermatology focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of skin, hair, and nail disorders in infants, children, and adolescents. Children’s skin differs from adult skin in structure, function, and response to environmental factors, making pediatric dermatologic care essential for early detection and effective management of both common and rare conditions.

This field addresses a wide spectrum of disorders — from common concerns such as atopic dermatitis, diaper rash, and birthmarks to more complex genetic, autoimmune, and infectious diseases. Pediatric dermatologists work closely with pediatricians and other specialists to ensure comprehensive, age-appropriate, and compassionate care tailored to young patients.

Recent advancements in pediatric dermatology have introduced safer topical formulations, targeted biologic therapies, and improved diagnostic tools that enhance precision and minimize side effects in children. Research in this area continues to expand understanding of genetic skin conditions and the long-term impacts of early-life dermatologic diseases.

The session on Pediatric Dermatology will convene leading experts, researchers, and clinicians to discuss breakthroughs in pediatric skin care, highlight best practices for diagnosis and treatment, and explore innovations in clinical and translational research. Attendees will gain insights into multidisciplinary management approaches, patient education, and preventive strategies that promote lifelong skin health starting from childhood.
