Pediatric Dermatology

Pediatric dermatologists treat children with skin conditions that cause pain, lower self-esteem, and impact overall health. Our providers offer care close to home, giving your child quality and convenience. And to ensure effective appointments, you’ll have access to comprehensive pediatric dermatology services —including teenage acne. Because at St. Luke’s, we believe that children deserve the best.

We want your children to do their best and feel their best, so we take the time to educate you about your child’s skin condition and the treatment options that exist. We believe that the more informed you are about your own skin, the more successful we will be together.

Our children’s dermatology team treats skin disorders ranging from common to complex. Partnering with your child’s pediatrician, St. Luke’s pediatric dermatologists have experience with the following–and more:

• Acne
• Birthmarks (port wine stains, hemangiomas, nevus sebaceous)
• Contact Dertatitis (irritant or allergic)
• Diaper rash
• Eczema
• Moles (nevus, nevi)
• Strawberry mark (cherry angioma)
• Warts (verruca vulgaris)

You’ll access a robust set of services at St. Luke's Dermatology. Our expert pediatric dermatologists in the Lehigh Valley—including the Lehigh Valley’s only board-certified, fellowship-trained pediatric & adolescent dermatologist—offer advanced laser technology, skin care treatments, inpatient skin programs, and more.

Our dermatology team understands not everyone’s skin is the same. The right treatment for a skin condition begins with the correct diagnosis and that great results are only achieved through a well thought-out, individualized approach. Consequently, St. Luke’s provides you personalized pediatric dermatological expertise based on a career’s experience of healing skin conditions, specifically, in the pediatric and adolescent population.

We offer a range of comprehensive programs including:

• Birthmark Clinic
• Eczema and Psoriasis Institute
• Rare Skin Conditions Clinic
• Scar Treatment and Rehabilitation (S.T.A.R.) Program
• Vascular Lesion Clinic
