Many common skin disorders in children are self-limited and will often go away on their own.
That said, there are cases where a pediatric skin disorder is more severe, or be indicative of a serious underlying medical condition, and needs professional evaluation and treatment from a board-certified physician. If your child is experiencing substantial discomfort on the skin (extreme itching, swelling or pain), it’s best to make an appointment as soon as possible with a nearby dermatologist.
