Dr. Justin Platzer, who practices in Palm Beach Gardens, FL, West Palm Beach, FL, and Wellington, FL, is a medical specialist in pediatric dermatology and MOHS-micrographic surgery. He attended Tulane University School of Medicine.

"I needed to have Mohs microsurgery on my cheek (on my face) to take off a small area of squamous cell skin cancer. I am a person who has had no surgery or stitches before and I hate pain, so I didn't know what to expect. Everything went very smoothly! Dr. Platzer and his nurse Jerry, who have been working together for years, did a great job -- it was very quick and they were very pleasant. I had no pain during the surgery (and getting a few stitches) and also after I went home! It's now two weeks later and my cheek is healed -- you can barely see the line on my cheek where the cutting was done and the stitches were. Thank you, Dr. Platzer and Jerry, for doing such a great job!"

What is Pediatric Dermatology?

Pediatric dermatology is the field which treats skin, hair, and nail conditions in children. Conditions may range from mild rashes to complex skin disorders. A pediatric dermatologist can diagnose conditions through visual examination, biopsy (tissue collection), or blood testing. When a skin disorder is detected, pediatric dermatologists prescribe treatment based on the patient's age, medical history, and symptoms.

A pediatric dermatologist may treat the following conditions, among others:

Immune disorders affecting the skin
Vascular birthmarks (red of textured marks caused by irregular blood vessel formation)
Eczema
Psoriasis
Skin infections
Skin, hair, and nail tumors and abnormal growths
Acne
Epidermolysis bullosa (diseases causing skin fragility)
Hair loss

Treatment options include laser therapy, light therapy, surgery, and topical or oral medications. Pediatric dermatologists may use an advanced pulsed dye laser (PDL), a type of laser treatment, to treat vascular birthmarks. A pulsed dye laser directs heat to destroy or reduce the birthmark's irregular blood vessels. Lasers will not completely erase a mark, but will greatly diminish its appearance. Photolight therapy uses an ultraviolet light to disrupt the growth of eczema-affected skin cells. Cutaneous surgery involves small incisions to remove a benign (non-cancerous) skin growth. For chronic (persistent) skin disorders like atopic psoriasis, pediatric dermatologists may prescribe a regimen of topical antibiotics or ointments. Some pediatric skin conditions will require monitoring and treatment throughout childhood, while others may resolve with early intervention. Disorders such as acne may be self-treated without constant dermatologist supervision.

Pediatric dermatologists frequently advise families to make necessary lifestyle changes to avoid allergens or environmental triggers that aggravate a child's skin condition. Pediatric dermatologists may work with specialists such as pediatric plastic surgeons, pediatric rheumatologists, and pediatric allergy and immunologists to develop personalized care plans.
