Pediatric Dermatologist FAQ in Wilson, NC

Do children need skin checks?

Children rarely develop skin cancer. Full-body checks are usually not recommended until the early 20’s. Obviously, if there is a concerning lesion that is changing or growing out of proportion to the growth of the child, this needs to be checked by a doctor.

Do children get melanoma?

Melanoma, the most serious skin cancer, is rare in children. Between 300 and 400 cases are diagnosed in the United States each year1. Because it is so rare, many childhood melanomas are found in the later stages when treatment becomes more involved.

Can a doctor tell if a mole is cancerous just by looking at it?

A visual check of your skin only finds moles that may be cancer. It can’t tell you for sure that you have it. The only way to diagnose the condition is with a test called a biopsy. If your doctor thinks a mole is a problem, they will give you a shot of numbing medicine, then scrape off as much of the mole as possible.

Can a 10 year old get a mole removed?

With pediatric mole removal, there is very little risk, but the benefits are high. If a large mole is impacting the child’s appearance or is a type that is at high risk for melanoma, it can be worth having the nevus removed. The procedure is usually very quick, and the child can go home the same day.

What should I wash my 8 year old’s face with?

Start simple with face washing using a gentle facial cleanser such as Gentle Milk Facial Cleanser or Clarifying Facial Cleanser. Follow with a gentle toner to balance skin pH such as Calming Facial Toner or Lavender and Chamomile Facial Toner. Then follow with a lightweight lotion such as Basic Baby Lotion.

How do you treat pediatric acne?

Mild acne — Mild infantile and mid-childhood acne can be managed with topical treatments. A low-strength topical retinoid (tretinoin 0.025% cream or adapalene 0.1% gel) or benzoyl peroxide 2.5% cream applied once daily are typically used.

What is a good skin care routine for a 10 year old?

A child’s skincare regimen should include a daily bath with a gentle cleanser, followed by application of a moisturizer. In the summer, it’s also important they wear sunscreen applied several times throughout the day, especially because a child’s skin is more sensitive than most adults’ skin.

Which moisturizer is best for 5 year old?

Sebamed Baby Cream. Himalaya Baby Cream. Mamaearth Milky Soft Natural Baby Face Cream. Chicco Natural Sensation Face Cream. Aveeno Baby Soothing Relief Moisture Cream. Johnson’s Baby Milk and Rice Cream. The Moms Co. Baby Dove Rich Moisture Nourishing Baby Lotion.

How common is melanoma in kids?

Melanoma, the most serious skin cancer, is rare in children. Between 300 and 400 cases are diagnosed in the United States each year1. Because it is so rare, many childhood melanomas are found in the later stages when treatment becomes more involved.

What age should I worry about moles?

The majority of moles are not dangerous. Moles that are more likely to be cancer are those that look different than other moles and appear after the age of 25. If you notice changes in a mole’s height, color, shape or size, you should have a dermatologist evaluate it.
