The value of dermatological preventive check-ups
Preventive dermatological screening can be performed from infancy to adolescence and aims to check for congenital and acquired lesions that do not require urgent treatment and immediate treatment.
Prevention is of particular importance in families with a burdened family history. Additionally, parents can be informed about the special care/treatment that sensitive children’s skin needs, about sun protection and about some common pediatric dermatological diseases that affect infants, children and adolescents.
The dermatological clinic provides examination and subsequent treatment for the following pediatric dermatological diseases:
- Atopic dermatitis / eczema: prevention, treatment, treatment
- Checking, monitoring of moles (dermatoscopy)
- Skin discolorations
- Acne
- Skin warts: Dermatoscopy, cryotherapy
- Infectious termite: Dermatoscopy, therapeutic intervention with local treatment or microabrasion
- Check, treatment of hemangiomas
- Skin and nail infections (cultures, mycograms, therapeutic approach), staphylococcal dermatitis
- Hair loss/damage
All of the above takes place in the modern pediatric dermatology area of the Athens Pediatric Medical Center.
