Pediatric dermatologist in Rabat
A child's skin is not a small adult's skin. Dr ESSADEQ, who holds a diploma in pediatric dermatology from the University of Nantes (France), cares for babies, children and teenagers in Hay Riad.
Conditions treated
- Atopic eczema: dry, itchy skin and flare-ups, from infancy.
- Baby skin conditions: nappy rash, cradle cap, infant rashes.
- Birthmarks: angiomas, pigmented birthmarks, follow-up of moles.
- Molluscum contagiosum and warts, very common in children.
- Skin infections: impetigo, fungal infections, scabies, head lice.
- Teenage acne, treated early to limit marks and scars.
- Hair, scalp and nail problems in children.
A consultation adapted to children
The consultation takes the time needed to reassure the child and to explain things clearly to the parents. Treatments are chosen for their tolerance at each age, and the skincare routine is kept simple so that it can be followed at home.
Practical advice
- Bring the child's health record, current treatments and any photos of the rash if it comes and goes.
- Avoid applying cream to the area just before the visit, so the skin can be examined as it is.
