Issues with skin can be uncomfortable, embarrassing, and sometimes dangerous. Proper diagnosis and treatment by a dermatologist who specializes in the skin diseases of children is important.

The Pediatric and Adolescent Dermatology Center at the Children’s Hospital is a fully accredited pediatric subspecialty program with a state-of-the-art outpatient facility. We use the latest medications and advanced technology to diagnose and treat all types of skin diseases and disorders, including acne, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, allergic reactions, warts, molluscum, moles, skin infections, alopecia areata, vitiligo, and infantile hemangiomas, as well as other birthmarks.

Our advanced facility enables us to perform minor surgical procedures, as well as laser therapy with anesthesia, if necessary, in infants, children and adolescents. We are home to New Jersey’s first academic dermatology program.
The goal of our comprehensive services is to make patients and their families comfortable, and to provide them with reassurance about their skin.
