Pediatric Dermatology

Ana M. Duarte, MD, FAAD, DABD
Pediatric Dermatologist Miami FL

Dermatologists are physicians who specialize in treating conditions affecting the skin, hair, nails, and mucous membranes. There are over 3,000 individual diseases which dermatologists may be called upon to diagnose and treat, including rashes, acne, infections, and skin cancer.

Pediatric dermatologists specialize even further, obtaining additional education and training in diagnosing and treating children, including newborns, infants, adolescents, and young adults. Dr. Ana M. Duarte, having completed a fellowship in pediatric dermatology, has this additional training and board certification in pediatric dermatology.

Diseases can affect children in different ways than adults, and different treatments may be required for infants and children. That’s why pediatricians will often refer their patients to a pediatric dermatologist who specializes in treating those diseases and conditions that are common and/or exclusive to pediatric patients, including:

• Acne
• Alopecia
• Birthmarks
• Diaper Dermatitis
• Eczema/Atopic Dermatitis
• Fungal Infections
• Hemangiomas
• Laser Surgery
• Moles
• Molluscum
• Port Wine Stains (PWS)
• Rashes
• Skin Infections
• Vitiligo
• Warts
