YouBelong Pediatrics in Suwanee, GA diagnoses and treats common childhood skin problems, including eczema, acne, diaper rash, hives, and other rashes. We build a daily skin-care plan with your family and refer to a dermatologist when needed.
What we treat: eczema (atopic dermatitis), acne, diaper rash, cradle cap, hives, poison ivy and other contact rashes, impetigo, ringworm, viral rashes, sunburn, warts, and molluscum
New rashes: same-day sick visits, especially for a rash with fever
Treatment: prescription creams and medicines, plus a simple daily routine you can follow at home
Referrals: pediatric dermatology for severe or unusual skin problems
Moisturize at least twice a day with a thick, fragrance-free cream or ointment. Apply it within a few minutes after the bath to seal in water.
Keep baths short and lukewarm, and use a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser.
Choose soft fabrics like cotton, and a fragrance-free laundry detergent.
Treat flares early with the medicine we prescribe. Used as directed, prescription eczema creams are safe and keep flares from building.
Watch for infection: call us if the skin oozes, crusts, or develops painful blisters.
Babies with moderate or severe eczema have a higher chance of food allergies. We'll talk with you about introducing allergy foods safely.
Acne often starts between ages 8 and 12, and it is very treatable. We start with gentle twice-daily washing and over-the-counter options such as benzoyl peroxide or adapalene, and move to prescription treatment when needed. Most treatments take 8 to 12 weeks to work. Acne can affect how a teen feels about themselves, so we take it seriously, and we refer to dermatology for severe or scarring acne.
Diaper rash: change diapers often, allow diaper-free time, and use a thick zinc oxide barrier cream. Call us if it isn't better in 2 to 3 days, if it blisters, or if it's bright red with small spots at the edges, which can be a yeast rash.
Cradle cap: greasy, yellow scales on the scalp. Gentle washing and a soft brush usually clear it.
Baby acne: small pimples in the first weeks are normal and go away without creams.
Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher and reapply every 2 hours and after swimming for children older than 6 months. For babies under 6 months, shade and light clothing come first. CHOA's Strong4Life has more sun safety tips.
Same-day visit: a rash with fever, spreading redness or warmth, honey-colored crusts, painful blisters, or a rash after starting a new medicine
Call 911: hives with trouble breathing, swelling of the lips or tongue, or repeated vomiting after a food or sting
Go to the ER: tiny red or purple spots that don't fade when pressed, along with a fever
Yes, when used as directed. We prescribe the right strength for your child's age and the area of skin, and explain how long to use it.
No. Eczema is an inflammatory skin condition, not an infection. Scratched skin can become infected, though, so call us if it oozes or crusts.
For eczema or acne that doesn't respond to treatment, scarring acne, hair loss, or unusual moles or birthmarks. We'll help you decide and make the referral.
Yes. We provide Wart & Molluscum Treatment in the office
