• Acne: While acne is typically associated with teenagers, young children can also experience breakouts, which may require specialized treatment.
• Rashes: Rashes are common in children and can be caused by a variety of factors, including infections, allergies, and irritants.
• Impetigo: A highly contagious bacterial infection that causes sores on the skin, often around the mouth and nose.
• Chickenpox: A viral infection that causes an itchy, blister-like rash all over the body.
• Psoriasis: A condition that causes red, flaky patches of skin, often on the scalp, elbows, and knees.
• Ringworm: A fungal infection that appears as a ring-shaped red rash on the skin.
