This chapter discusses various aspects of skin diseases in children in detail. Parasitic infestations in children include scabies, and pediculosis capitis, and bacterial infections include impetigo contagiosa, bullous impetigo, and cellulitis. Immunosuppressed herpes zoster in children should be treated with IV acyclovir or recombinant interferon alpha-2a. Pityriasis Rosea may be controlled by UVB treatment if this is begun in the first week of the eruption. The protocol is 5 consecutive exposures starting with 80 percent of the minimum erythema dose and increasing 20 percent each exposure. The most important aspect of the management of a child with atopic eczema is sympathetic explanation of the nature of the condition to its parents and use of topical antipruritic lotions. Alopecia areata can be treated with topical and intralesional steroids, avoiding systemic corticosteroids, and topical immunotherapy.
