F079 Pediatric Dermatology for the Adult Dermatologist
DESCRIPTION
Many skin disorders are more commonly diagnosed in children; others have a unique presentation in the pediatric population. This session will help participants identify and treat skin conditions in children, with a specific focus on how this care and treatment options differ from adults. The session will provide guidance to general dermatologists on a child-centric approach to several disorders. Emphasis will be placed on understanding the unique differential diagnosis for skin conditions and the challenges of treatment in this age group.
