Talking with your teen about birth control is an important part of keeping them safe and healthy. Here is a quick guide to help you understand the options and the main points to discuss.

🔹 The goal
If a teen is sexually active, using effective birth control is essential to prevent unplanned pregnancy. It is also vital to remember that condoms should be used every single time to protect against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

🔹 Long-acting options
Methods like the IUD and the birth control implant are highly effective because they work for several years and don't require daily or monthly action.

🔹 Hormonal methods
These include the pill, the patch, the shot, and the vaginal ring. These options require more regular attention—like taking a pill every day—to stay effective.

🔹 Barrier methods
Condoms are the only method that provides protection against STDs. Even if your teen is using another form of birth control, condoms should still be used for full protection.

🔹 Emergency contraception
The "morning-after pill" is an option if primary birth control fails or isn't used, but it is not intended for regular use.

🔹 Starting the conversation
Open communication helps teens feel comfortable asking questions. If you aren't sure how to start, your pediatrician is here to help guide these conversations and provide medical advice on which method fits your child's health history best.

What are those tiny bumps? Let’s talk Molluscum Contagiosum.

These are small bumps, 1–5 mm in size, caused by a virus in the poxvirus family. While they occur mostly in children aged 1–10 years, people of any age can get them!

They can show up anywhere on the body and are firm and flesh, white, or pink in color. Molluscum bumps may come alone or in groups and have a signature umbilicated (dimpled) appearance.

Is it contagious? As the name suggests, it is! It spreads by:
🤝 Person-to-person contact
🧸 Objects such as toys and towels
🚫 Note: The virus lives in the skin, so it does not spread through saliva or sneezing.

Children with atopic dermatitis (eczema) or suppressed immune systems are at an increased risk for more severe cases. Because lesions persist for so long, the best way to prevent spread is good hand washing and keeping lesions on the hands covered.

Treatment is typically "watchful waiting." Lesions will go away on their own—usually within 6–12 months—but they can persist for up to four years! 🕰️

For more severe cases, doctors can treat them with:
🔹 Cryotherapy
🔹 Laser therapy
🔹 Curettage
🔹 Topicals (Cantharidin, salicylic acid, tretinoin, or imiquimod)

The Goal: These treatments irritate the skin to “alert” the body to the virus so it starts attacking it. While any poxvirus can scar with or without treatment, luckily, these typically do not!

Planning to travel with your family for Spring Break? Planning a family getaway is all about creating wonderful memories, and being prepared is the best way to ensure your trip is smooth and safe from start to finish.

Here is what you need to know before you head to the airport:

1️⃣ Timing is Key: Most vaccines should be given at least 1 month before travel.

2️⃣ Routine vs. Travel Vaccines: Depending on your travel plans, your doctor may recommend that besides routine vaccines, you and/or your kids be vaccinated against typhoid, yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis, rabies, or cholera.

3️⃣ Search by Destination: Different countries have different health risks and may require specific vaccines. You can visit the CDC's travelers' health website to search for recommended or required vaccines by destination.

4️⃣ Protect Yourself from Germs: Traveling can involve exposure to crowded airports and vacation destinations, which makes the spread of respiratory viruses much more likely. Experts strongly recommend staying up to date on COVID-19 and flu vaccines.

Don't wait until the last minute to check this off your list! Preparation is the best way to ensure your big adventure is remembered for all the right reasons.
