Neonatal skin conditions are disorders occurring in newborns’ skin, often resulting from delicate skin reacting to environmental or internal factors. Most of these conditions are harmless and resolve independently, though medical evaluation is advisable for persistent or severe cases.

Paediatrician, General Physician or
Dermatologist for Skin & Hair Concerns?

When the health problem is related to a specific part or organ of the body like skin, approaching a specialist substantially reduces the time taken from identification to the start of treatment, which often can be quite critical. MD or DNB specialists like dermatologists undergo intense training and education for 3 more years studying dermatology and venereology after they have passed their MBBS exam. During this period they work with senior specialists and help with treatment of thousands of patients suffering from a variety of conditions. This gives them the ability to quickly diagnose ailments and treat them far more effectively than a general physician can.

This learning does not end at qualifying as an MD, it is actually a continuous process where they participate in conferences and clinical meets to discuss and understand the latest developments in their field. This benefits the patients substantially as they are able to prescribe the latest and most effective line of treatments.

Dermatologists see hundreds of patients on a daily basis with a variety of conditions ranging from simple skin and cosmetic conditions to very rare and complex skin conditions making it a lot easier and quicker for dermatologists to diagnose and treat such conditions.

More about how we can help with
Your Concerns

Neonatal Skin (new born baby’s skin) is similar in structure to adult skin but is not as functional. A newborn’s skin as compared to an adult’s skin has a very thin upper layer. Also a baby’s skin is more porous. The water retention mechanism and the melanin in the skin are also not fully developed.

There are certain conditions that occur in neonates but persist for a very short period. Some of the common ones are:

Milia: These are small pinpoint whitish boils.

Acne: Pimples which appear due to circulating maternal hormones.

Mongolian Spots: These are greenish patch on the lower back, buttocks or shoulders.

Flat Haemangioma: these are Pinkish / Reddish patches on forehead or back of the neck.

Peeling of Skin: It is commonly seen on palms and soles.

Suction Blister: It is blisters on fingers, due to sucking action in the uterus.

Cradle Cap: It is a thick scaly greasy patches on the scalp.

Some of the common persistent conditions that occur in newborn babies are:

Diaper Rash : These are seen as itchy red rashes in the groin, buttocks or pubic area. It is mainly caused because of friction or prolonged contact with urine or faeces.

3. The worst enemy of dry skin is powder.

4. Make sure that the baby does not remain in a wet diaper for long.

5. Avoid any ‘organic’ skin care products and home remedies on babies.

6. Use cotton clothes and ensure that you cut away any labels on the inside of clothes so that it does not cause constant irritation leading to eczema.

7. The melanin levels in a baby’s skin is also low and hence it is extremely important to protect them from UV rays.

8. Long baths and showers for a baby are something you should avoid at all costs. These tend to speed up the drying of the baby’s skin.

To prevent diaper rash, you should change your baby’s diaper frequently and use a diaper cream or ointment. Avoid using wipes or products that contain alcohol or fragrances.

Ageing results in decline of normal functioning in all organ systems including skin. Two types of skin ageing exist. These are intrinsic ageing, which includes those changes that are due to normal maturity and occur in all individuals and extrinsic ageing, produced by extrinsic factors such as ultraviolet light exposure, smoking, and environmental pollutants. Ageing also causes changes at cellular level. There is a decline in collagen and elastin which causes, wrinkles and loose skin. There is decrease in sweat and oil glands activity also.

Roughened or Dry Skin: Due to loss of moisture, skin becomes extremely dry and cracked leading to xerotic eczema.

Prevention: Keep the skin moisturized by applying hydrating creams or lotions regularly, especially after bathing.

Treatment: For severe cases, a dermatologist might prescribe topical steroids or other medicated creams to manage symptoms.

Benign Growths such as seborrheic keratosis, cherry angiomas, skin tags etc. These harmless growths are associated with ageing.

Treatment: Treatments like laser resurfacing, dermal fillers, or radiofrequency therapy can help tighten loose skin, under the supervision of a dermatologist.

Transparent or Thinned Skin leading to easy bruising: Due to decreased elastin and skin thickness skin gets bruised easily.

Prevention: Avoiding excessive sun exposure and using protective measures like wearing long sleeves can help prevent further thinning of the skin.

Treatment: While thinning skin is a natural aging process, addressing any contributing factors like poor nutrition or steroid use with the help of a dermatologist can be beneficial.

Increased susceptibility to infections (due to low immunity): Fungal and bacterial infections are commonly seen. Also, bedsores are common in bedridden patients.

Prevention: Maintaining good hygiene, keeping skin dry, and turning bedridden patients frequently to prevent bedsores are crucial preventive measures.

Treatment: Infections may be treated with topical or oral antibiotics or antifungals, and bedsores may require specialized wound care under a healthcare provider’s supervision.

Skin Cancer: Certain types of skin cancer are seen with ageing.

Prevention: Regular use of broad-spectrum sunscreen, avoiding tanning beds, and undergoing routine skin checks can help in early detection and prevention of skin cancer.

Treatment: Treatment options can range from surgical removal, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, to immunotherapy, depending on the type and stage of skin cancer, under the guidance of an oncologist or dermatologist.

Skin care is important for older adults because as we age, our skin becomes thinner, drier, and more fragile. This can increase the risk of skin damage, infections, and other skin problems.

Common skin concerns in older adults include dry skin, wrinkles, age spots, skin cancer, and infections.

To prevent skin damage as you age, you should protect your skin from the sun, avoid smoking, eat a healthy diet, stay hydrated, and use gentle skin care products.

To keep your skin hydrated, you should drink plenty of water, use a moisturizer regularly, avoid hot showers or baths, and use a humidifier in your home.

As you age, it’s a good idea to see a dermatologist regularly, especially if you have a history of skin problems or a family history of skin cancer. Your healthcare provider can recommend how often you should be seen based on your individual needs.

As you age, you should look for skin care products that contain ingredients like retinol, hyaluronic acid, and antioxidants, which can help to reduce the signs of aging and keep your skin healthy.

Yes, certain medications can affect your skin as you age. Some medications can cause dry skin, rashes, or other skin problems. It’s important to discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider.

To protect your skin from the sun as you age, you should wear protective clothing, use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30, and avoid spending time in the sun during peak hours.

To prevent infections in your skin as you age, you should keep your skin clean and dry, avoid scratching or picking at your skin, and avoid contact with others who have skin infections.

You should see a dermatologist if you notice any changes in your skin, such as new moles or growths, changes in the color or texture of your skin, or persistent itching or rashes. A dermatologist can help to diagnose and treat any skin problems you may have.
