Skin diseases in children?
The skin is a complex organ that first functions as a physiological barrier: in infants and newborns, the surface layer of skin (“the epidermis”) is thinner, and the skin is more permeable. The skin also has a heat-regulating function. Finally, you should know that the skin is colonized from birth by many bacteria that are involved in the defense of the skin.
There are different types of skin diseases secondary to viral or bacterial infections, allergic or immune diseases, or unknown causes.
The diagnosis is often made based on the circumstances of the appearance and the appearance of the skin lesions (the type of “rash” on the skin).
