Paediatric dermatology

Children's skin is finer and more sensitive than that of adults and therefore requires a tailored approach. At our clinic in Gent, we treat common childhood skin conditions such as eczema, warts, moles, skin infections, acne and congenital skin abnormalities — always in a calm, child-friendly manner.

The paediatric dermatology consultation is the first point of contact for skin problems in children under the age of 16. The paediatrician and dermatologist jointly establish a diagnosis and treatment plan tailored to the child's age and sensitivities. Great importance is placed on a calm environment, clear communication with parents and child, and the use of low-pain techniques. In this way, we combine medical expertise with a warm, reassuring care experience for young patients.
