Winter in Arizona might not usually bring snow, but it definitely brings dry air! ❄️🌵 Kids can end up with itchy skin and extra-dry hands.

Samantha is sharing some simple tips for protecting your child’s skin from the dry Arizona winter air:

1️⃣Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer right after bath time to lock in hydration
2️⃣Invest in a humidifier. Turn it on at night to increase indoor moisture.
3️⃣If your child has eczema, apply a thicker ointment to flare spots and avoid hot baths
4️⃣For recurring rashes or very dry patches, check with your pediatric dermatology provider to make sure you’re using the safest, most effective products
5️⃣Dress your youngster in soft, breathable layers and cover exposed skin.
6️⃣Let your child drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.
7️⃣Keep baths/showers short and use lukewarm water.

Follow these tips to keep your youngster comfortable all season long. If you’re in search of a reliable pediatric dermatology provider in Glendale, Phoenix, Yuma, or Mesa, reach out to Samantha or Lisette here at Happy Skin. 📞(602) 837-3376

The holidays bring excitement and lots of nice treats for children, but for those with psoriasis, the season can also be a minefield of triggers.

If your child is a psoriasis warrior, here’s what you can do to help minimize or prevent flares.

✅ Watch holiday food triggers: When possible, avoid processed foods, red meat, dairy, and sugary desserts. Try to include anti-inflammatory choices like colorful fruits and veggies, salmon, olive oil, nuts, and whole grains.

✅ Choose soft, breathable fabrics: Holiday outfits may look cute, but certain fabric types can irritate the skin. Cotton and other soft fabrics are ideal, while rough ones (like wool) can make patches itchier and therefore should be avoided.

✅ Protect their routine: Late nights, travel, and excitement can get in the way of your child’s sleep and treatment regimen. You can help by keeping bedtime as consistent as possible, making sure to bring their meds when traveling, and taking “quiet time” breaks during busy family gatherings. A little structure makes a big difference.

If your child’s psoriasis becomes tough to manage, we’re here to help you find the right solution, so your youngster can enjoy the season to the fullest. Call now to book an appointment with one of our highly qualified providers, Samantha or Lisette.📞 (602) 837-3376.

Happy What’s-the-Truth Wednesday! Today, we’re squashing a common myth about vitiligo.

❌ Myth: Vitiligo only affects people with darker skin.
✅ Fact: Vitiligo can affect anyone, regardless of skin color. It often becomes more noticeable on darker skin tones, which is why many people think it’s limited to that group, but that’s not true.

Vitiligo is a pigment condition that happens when the skin loses melanocytes, and it can appear on children and adults with fair, medium, or dark complexion. No complexion is immune to it.

Need help with managing your child’s vitiligo? Consult Samantha or Lisette about XTRAC Xcimer Laser, an FDA-cleared treatment known for its effectiveness and remarkable success rate. Call now to schedule a consultation:📞 (602) 837-3376.

Time for our Q&A series with Samantha! ✨ Our topic for today: stork bites

Q: My newborn has a small red spot right on his eyelid, which I suspect is a stork bite. Do I need to see a doctor for it?

A: That does sound like a stork bite, and it will likely fade by toddlerhood. It only becomes a cause for concern if it gets bigger, changes color, or becomes swollen. If this happens, come see us for an evaluation.

Thanksgiving brings joy and togetherness, but the cooler weather and dry indoor air are conducive to psoriasis flares.

Samantha is sharing a few tips for keeping psoriasis flares at bay during the holidays.

1)💧 Hydrate inside and out: Encourage your youngster to drink water throughout the day and keep their skin moisturized, especially in heated indoor spaces.

2)🥧 Watch for food triggers: Avoid red meat; ultra-processed foods; baked goods with wheat, rye, and barley; foods with added sugars; and dairy.

3)🌟 Pack the essentials: Bring along creams, ointments, or medications if you’re traveling, so your child stays comfortable.

4) 🦃 Keep stress low: Holiday excitement can be overwhelming; give your child breaks to relax and recharge.

If you’re finding it hard to manage your child’s psoriasis, consult with Samantha or Lisette here at Happy Skin Pediatric Dermatology about XTRAC® Excimer Laser. 📞 (602) 837-3376

Happy Fact-Finding Friday! Our topic today: Children and sunscreen 🌞

❌ Myth: Kids don’t need sunscreen on cloudy days or in the winter.

✅ Fact: Up to 80% of UV rays can still pe*****te through clouds, and snow reflects sunlight—making sunburn possible even in colder months. Consistent sunscreen use is therefore essential throughout the year to protect your child’s skin and lower their lifetime risk of sun damage.
