Healthy skin starts early—really early. A newborn's skin is typically checked during the initial physical exam shortly after birth and then again at a well-child checkup within the first few days or weeks to catch issues like eczema, birthmarks, or any spots that don’t look typical.

After that, a yearly check is essential. It helps identify issues like recurring rashes, moles that may need monitoring, persistent dry patches, or irritation that isn’t improving.

Winter is prime time for dandruff in kids. Cold outdoor temperatures and indoor heating systems, which dry the air even further, all team up to irritate the scalp.

To help keep your child’s scalp flake-free this season, try these tips:

1️⃣ Choose a gentle shampoo that won’t strip natural oils: Harsh cleansers can dry the scalp, making flaking and itchiness worse.

2️⃣ Keep showers warm instead of hot to prevent excessive dryness: Hot water removes protective lipids from the skin, leaving the scalp more vulnerable to irritation.

3️⃣ Don’t let your child wear tight hats or beanies for long periods: Trapped sweat and friction under snug winter hats can irritate sensitive scalps and make dandruff worse.

4️⃣ Make sure your child rinses thoroughly to avoid buildup of product and oils: When shampoo or conditioner isn’t fully rinsed out, it mixes with natural scalp oils and dead skin cells, which can stick to the scalp and make flaking, itching, and irritation even worse.

If your child’s dandruff keeps coming back or their scalp looks irritated, reach out to one of our experts here at Happy Skin Pediatric Dermatology for proper treatment. 📞(602) 837-3376

And we’re back with our Q&A series! Today, our experts are answering a common question about hives, a skin issue that often appears suddenly and leaves parents unsure what’s going on.

Q: My child broke out in itchy, raised welts out of nowhere. How do I know if these are harmless or if I should be worried?

A: Most hives in children are triggered by viral illnesses and clear within hours to a couple of days. They’re usually harmless if your child is breathing normally and acting like themselves. However, hives paired with swelling of the lips, eyelids, or difficulty breathing require immediate medical care, as these may signal an allergic reaction. For routine hives, an age-appropriate antihistamine helps with itching and comfort.

It’s Myth-Busting Monday, and we’re squashing a common myth about cystic acne!

❌ Myth: Popping or squeezing cystic acne helps it heal faster.

✅ Fact: Cystic acne forms deep under the skin, and squeezing it can rupture the follicle, worsen inflammation, and significantly increase the risk of infection.

Squeezing acne in itself breaks the skin's natural barrier. When it’s broken, bacteria are pushed into deeper layers, resulting in painful swelling, slower healing, and higher risk of permanent scarring. Professional treatment is the safest and most effective way to manage cystic acne breakouts.

Need help with managing your child’s acne? Call now to schedule a visit with one of our highly qualified providers, Samantha or Lisette:📞 (602) 837-3376.

Heading somewhere “bone-chilling” this winter? ❄️ Make sure you and your kiddo stay frostbite-free whenever you spend time outdoors.

Here are some tips to keep in your back pocket:

• Check the forecast and wind-chill before heading out.
• Layer up with loose, cozy clothing.
• Grab a warm hat or headband that fully covers those ears.
• Choose mittens over gloves.
• Keep your body moving to stay warm.

Stay alert for frostbite signs like tingling, numbness, or skin color changes, and if you spot any, get medical help right away. Be safe and stay warm!
