Skin diseases are an important topic that is often neglected in the medical care of children. The Department of Pediatric Dermatology, as can be found in the Social Pediatric Center on the Bult, specializes in the outpatient and day-clinic care of children with various skin diseases. Severe cases of diseases such as neurodermatitis and hemangiomas as well as rare, congenital skin diseases are particularly treated. These include, among other things, butterfly children and serious keratinization disorders. Trustworthy contacts are required here, as registration for the pediatric dermatology outpatient clinic is only carried out by specialists.
Special treatment in pediatric dermatology
The clinic and polyclinic for dermatology and venereology in Cologne also specializes in the treatment of children and adolescents. Young patients with skin diseases are cared for here every day. The focus of the pediatric dermatology consultation is on the clarification of unclear skin findings and the treatment of complex, therapy-resistant skin diseases. Genetic skin diseases also receive special attention in this facility. The close collaboration with regional children's hospitals and pediatric and adolescent medicine is a special feature of Cologne dermatology.
If you look beyond the city limits, the German Dermatological Society (DDG) brings together experts from all over Germany who are involved in the “Pediatric Dermatology” working group. The European Society for Pediatric Dermatology (ESPD) also offers a platform for exchange and collaboration in pediatric dermatology.
Overall, these efforts demonstrate that medical care and education about skin diseases in children remain an important concern. The combination of scientific education and qualified medical care makes it clear: skin health is more than just a surface issue and deserves our full attention.
