Favorite Dermatologists for Kids in Kalamazoo- 2022

Caring for the Largest Organ in Your Child’s Body

Like the heart, lungs and other major organs, the skin sometimes needs specialized care for treatment. While cardiologists focus on the heart, dermatologists’ specialty is skin.

When our daughter was five months old, we noticed a red, quarter-sized spot on her scalp. What we thought was cradle cap was actually eczema, and very common in infants.

After some topical treatments, the spots disappeared and she eventually outgrew their recurrence.

So when our second child was born and he had a similar spot on his chin, we knew it was; however, the typical treatment wasn’t effective.

Our pediatrician referred us to a dermatologist who could help. After a week on a different treatment plan, his skin cleared too, and we recognized the value of having a specialized physician over his skincare.

Although our days of infant eczema are long behind us, our kids still have somewhat sensitive skin. As they grow older, we are still cognizant of which detergents, lotions and other cosmetics to use.

Whether it’s swapping a lotion or making dietary changes, having a dermatologist’s guidance is invaluable in treating families for acne, eczema, hives and more:

Dermatologists Treat a Variety of Skin Conditions

While eczema was our focus for our family, dermatologists cover a wide variety of skincare conditions:

Common Skin Care Conditions Treated by Dermatologists

Acne

Eczema

Skin Cancer/Moles

Hives

Psoriasis

Rosacea

Varicose Veins


The Kalamazoo area includes many dermatology providers to help families address these skin conditions and more. If you have skin concerns for your child, start with your pediatrician; a dermatologist may be the next step to treatment.
