The Science, Art, and Delivery of Pediatric Dermatologic Care in the Twenty-First Century

Caring for children with skin disease is in equal measure rewarding and challenging. Managing patients with diverse backgrounds in the context of complex diagnoses, patient age, developmental stage, and beliefs and preferences of caregivers requires unique knowledge, skills, and strategies. In an era of rapid advancements in diagnosis and treatment, we must also remain cognizant of sociocultural evolution and environmental factors that should factor into our provision of care. Advocating for the vulnerable, providing access, abandoning outdated lexicons, and empowering patients by sharing information and decisions are important aspects of multidimensional care.
