Dermatology
Specialized Skin Care for Every Age, From Newborns to Adults
At KidsHeart Medical Center, we understand that skin concerns do not follow a schedule and they do not discriminate by age. Whether you are a parent noticing a rash on your infant, a teenager dealing with persistent acne, or an adult managing a chronic skin condition, the need for expert care is the same. Our Dermatology team sees patients across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Al Ain, offering accurate diagnosis, personalized treatment, and ongoing support for a wide range of skin, hair, and nail conditions.
Is Your Child's Skin Constantly Itchy, Red, or Inflamed?
Eczema and atopic dermatitis are among the most common skin conditions in children — and very manageable with the right treatment plan. Our pediatric dermatologist helps reduce flare-ups, relieve discomfort, and protect your child’s skin long-term.
Warts, Fungal Infections, or Persistent Rashes?
From ringworm and candidiasis to contact dermatitis and bacterial infections, childhood skin infections need prompt, accurate treatment. Our team diagnoses and treats infectious skin conditions quickly using safe, child-friendly methods.
Worried About a Mole, Birthmark, or Pigmentation Change?
Most birthmarks and moles are harmless — but some deserve a closer look. Our dermatologist evaluates pigmented lesions carefully, providing clear guidance on monitoring, cosmetic options, and any necessary treatment.
Teenage Acne or Hormonal Skin Changes?
Adolescent skin has unique needs. Our teenage skin care programs address acne, excessive sweating, and hormonal skin changes with personalized treatment plans — helping teenagers feel confident and comfortable in their skin.
Newborn or Infant With a Skin Concern?
Baby skin is delicate and can develop a range of conditions in the early weeks and months. Our neonatal dermatology consultations provide specialized evaluation and gentle care for the most sensitive skin.
