Abstract
While the most prevalent skin conditions in the paediatric age group include acne, dermatitis/eczema, bacterial and fungal infections, recent articles published in InnovAiT cover these topics in detail. This article aims to provide an overview of some of the conditions frequently encountered in the paediatric dermatology clinic, considering in particular birthmarks, vascular malformations, neonatal skin conditions, paediatric skin tumours, mucocutaneous syndromes and infections, including viral exanthems.
