Is Your Child Suffering from Itchy Skin? See a Pediatric Dermatologist!

pediatric dermatologist

A direct correlation runs from your child’s health and happiness to your own well-being. It’s impossible to rest easy when your child isn’t feeling their best, and that can be more often than not as their young immune systems grow. Aside from getting the sniffles and tummy aches, your young ones can suffer ailments of the skin too. Their delicate outer layer can acquire many different kinds of problems, but seeing a pediatric dermatologist can help.

Itchy Skin

Everyone experiences itchy skin from time to time. If you have ever tried to tell a kid not to scratch though, you surely know it’s a waste of breath – not all children have mastered the art of self-control. This can lead to an array of other problems such as sores, infections, scarring, and spreading if the condition turns out to be contagious.

Causes

The causes of itchy skin can range from allergies to something caught in the classroom. Kids especially have a knack for getting into everything, even when under close supervision. Poison Ivy and bug bites are other common causes of irritated skin on youngsters, as are childhood diseases like chicken pox or conditions like eczema. It may sometimes be difficult to tell what’s going on. Sometimes a simple rash caused by sweat or a clothing tag can turn into a bigger deal. Pediatric dermatologists are trained and experienced to diagnose and effectively treat each condition.

Benefits of Seeing a Pediatric Dermatologist

At-home treatment of an aggravated patch of skin can be tempting, especially with the hordes of over-the-counter creams at hand, but getting a professional opinion is highly recommended. It will be beneficial to alleviate the itch, burn, or irritation of any skin problem as well as determining the source in order to hinder another bout. A dermatologist can also quickly figure out if the source of the itchiness is contagious or not. One itchy child is upsetting, but a whole family affected is a tremendous inconvenience to say the least.
