Pediatric dermatology is the branch of dermatology that has acquired its own autonomous standing within the field of dermatology for many reasons. First, it is because of specific childhood diseases, such as neonatal dermatoses and Gianotti–Crosti and staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome. Then, there are those diseases that are typical, if not exclusive, of this age (atopic dermatitis, impetigo), those diseases that manifest themselves with different characteristics in the adult and child (dermatomyositis, psoriasis), and finally, those diseases that start in childhood but continue into adulthood (genodermatoses).
