Pediatric Dermatology

Why see a pediatric dermatologist?

Pediatric dermatology focuses on addressing skin conditions in children from infancy to adolescence. Dr. James Nigro, MD, is a double board-certified pediatric dermatologist committed to enhancing the well-being of children and adolescents by managing skin issues that may impact their mental health and self-esteem.

When to Seek Pediatric Dermatology Care

It is important to schedule an appointment at the first signs of concern regarding your child’s skin. Whether it’s a troubling rash or an unusual mark, early intervention can prevent potential complications. Adolescence marks a pivotal period to consult a pediatric dermatologist. Hormonal changes during puberty can trigger skin problems like acne, making this an opportune time for discussing skincare practices and sun protection strategies.

Common pediatric conditions

The most prevalent issues are acne, a complex skin problem often afflicting teenagers, birthmarks like port-wine stains and hemangiomas requiring regular monitoring, diaper rash that may necessitate specialized treatment, eczema causing dry, red, and itchy skin. Other skin infections such as ringworm, impetigo, and scabies demand prompt medical attention by a specialist. Warts, receive tailored treatment based on the child’s age, which may involve methods such as cryotherapy, electrosurgery, or over-the-counter medication.

I was scared to death after discovering a small spot under my arm. I visited with Laura and she calmed my nerves by telling me it was blood vessels and nothing to worry about. The whole experience from checking in to leaving was wonderful. I HIGHLY recommend Nigro and especially Laura. I

Saturday I had an inflamed skin problem in an uncomfortable area, I was in a lot of pain, Heather Jordan was the absolute best! I visited Saturday to get checked out and the process was very smooth, comfortable and easy. Everyone who works there is kind, helpful and caring. Seeing me on short notice was huge help since no one else in town was open Saturday or available at least, Heather took me in and explained everything in detail and relieved me, I felt that I am in safe hands with someone experienced. I went back in today for another check up, and same thing, Heather and everyone else took great care of me, I definitely recommend to anyone, forget about ER or anyone else. This is the place to go, you won’t regret it.
