Pediatric Dermatology
Pediatric dermatology is a specialized branch of dermatology focused on diagnosing and treating skin, hair, and nail conditions in infants, children, and adolescents. At Shillong Radioclinics, Dr. Kalkambe A Sangma, MD, offers expert pediatric dermatological care with a compassionate approach that puts both young patients and their parents at ease.
Children’s skin is different from adult skin—it’s more sensitive, reactive, and prone to certain conditions that require a different diagnostic and treatment approach. With over 16 years of clinical experience, Dr. Kalkambe A Sangma provides safe, age-appropriate care for a wide range of pediatric skin concerns, combining medical knowledge with a gentle, friendly manner.
Common conditions treated under pediatric dermatology include eczema (atopic dermatitis), diaper rash, birthmarks, molluscum contagiosum, warts, acne in teens, vitiligo, skin infections, and allergic skin reactions
Each child is carefully evaluated to identify the root cause of the issue, and treatment plans are tailored to suit their unique skin needs and sensitivities.
Eczema, for example, is one of the most frequently seen conditions in children, often leading to discomfort, itching, and disturbed sleep. Dr. Kalkambe A Sangma offers a holistic approach to eczema management, which includes skin barrier repair, identifying and avoiding triggers, and using gentle topical or oral treatments.
Infectious conditions such as impetigo, ringworm, and viral warts are also common in school-aged children. Prompt diagnosis and treatment help prevent complications and reduce the risk of spreading infections. Dr. Kalkambe A Sangma ensures that all medications and procedures used are child-safe and evidence-based.
Teenagers often struggle with acne, which can impact their self-esteem. Dr. Sangma addresses adolescent acne with empathy, providing both medical treatment and skincare guidance to help teens regain confidence in their skin.
Another vital area is the management of congenital skin conditions such as birthmarks and genetic skin disorders. In such cases, early diagnosis can help in planning long-term care strategies and guiding parents through their child’s treatment journey.
At Shillong Radioclinics, Dr. Kalkambe A Sangma is committed to making every young patient’s visit comfortable and reassuring. The clinic environment is welcoming, and consultation times are paced to allow thorough assessment and parent education.
Trust your child’s skin health to the expert care of Dr. Kalkambe A Sangma, where medical excellence meets compassion. With a focus on long-term skin wellness, we ensure your little one grows up healthy, happy, and confident in their skin.
