Lasers, tissue expansion, and sun protection in pediatric dermatology.
As our knowledge of cutaneous disease increases, areas emerge in which our intervention with patients at an early age can significantly alter the progression of disease. This article discusses three major topics of new advances in the treatment of children with cutaneous disorders. These include laser therapy of various skin anomalies, the use of tissue expansion in congenital nevi, and the role of sun protection in children.
