Children are susceptible to a wide range of skin issues, many of which differ from those in adults. Common conditions include eczema (atopic dermatitis), diaper rash, cradle cap (seborrheic dermatitis), warts, molluscum contagiosum, and acne.
Viral rashes like chickenpox, hand-foot-and-mouth disease, and measles are also more frequent in pediatric cases.
Eczema is one of the most common chronic skin conditions in children. It often begins in infancy and appears as dry, red, itchy patches, typically on the cheeks, elbows, and knees.
