Our pediatric skin specialists have extensive experience and training caring for children’s skin conditions. We also have the only clinics in Sacramento specializing in pediatric dermatology and pediatric vascular anomalies.

Through our clinical research, your child has access to the latest pediatric dermatology treatments. We also offer a wide range of prescription skin care regimens, medications and laser therapy.

We treat children’s skin conditions in our Sacramento Dermatology Clinic and at UC Davis Health’s Children’s Hospital. From common rashes to rare conditions like vascular anomalies, we provide the care needed to help your child thrive.

When facial pores get clogged and inflamed, children of all ages can develop acne. Most acne breakouts improve with personalized treatments and a good skin care regimen.

Contact dermatitis happens when your child’s skin encounters something they are allergic to (allergen). As a result, your child’s skin develops a rash where the contact happened.

Eczema (atopic dermatitis) is a skin disease that causes itchy, red, rough skin patches. It usually develops during childhood.

Psoriasis is a skin disease that causes thick, red, scaly patches of skin. These patches are called plaques.

Vascular anomalies are growths made of blood vessels. They can be growths or masses of blood vessels (vascular tumors) or blood vessels that are abnormally shaped from birth (vascular malformations). Hemangiomas and port-wine stains are vascular anomalies.

Vitiligo is a skin disease that causes your child’s skin to lose its color. At UC Davis Health, our Vitiligo Clinic is one of only a few in the U.S. that provides care exclusively for vitiligo.

Our clinic is the only in the Sacramento region dedicated to pediatric vascular anomaly care. Experts in pediatric otolaryngology (ear, nose and throat), dermatology, radiology and other related specialties come together to provide complete care.

Our highly trained dermatopathologists analyze skin cells under microscopes to help diagnose skin problems. Their timely, accurate diagnoses lay the foundation for your child’s treatment plan.

Some genetic disorders affect your child’s skin. Our genomic medicine specialists partner with your pediatric dermatologist. Together, they help you better understand the disorder and make informed decisions about your child’s care.

Our pediatric skin specialists work closely with vascular experts in our Vascular Center. They collaborate to provide the most effective treatments possible for children with vascular malformations.
