Medical Dermatology · MD Dermatologist in Kalyani Nagar, Pune
Gentle, age-appropriate care for eczema, rashes, infections, warts, birthmarks and infant skin problems.
Overview
Children's skin is thinner and more reactive than adult skin, so rashes, infections and allergies appear quickly and worry parents. Most childhood skin problems are common and treatable, but medicines and doses have to be chosen for the child's age and weight, and strong creams meant for adults can do harm.
Paediatric dermatology is one of Dr. Daksha Patel's special interests. As an MD dermatologist she sees infants, toddlers, school-age children and teenagers at Skin Essence in Kalyani Nagar for eczema, nappy rash, heat rash, fungal and bacterial infections, warts and molluscum, scabies, birthmarks, hair and nail problems and early acne.
Consultations are unhurried and explanatory, because most of the treatment happens at home: how to bathe and moisturise, which triggers to avoid, when a steroid cream is needed and when it is not, and how to stop infections spreading at school. Pune's dry winters and humid monsoons each bring their own flare-ups, and the routine is adjusted for the season.
Options & areas
What To Expect
The skin is examined with a dermatoscope where needed, without unnecessary tests. Parents describe the history, triggers and what has already been tried.
You leave with a written routine: how to bathe and moisturise, which products to stop, what to expect and when to come back.
Short, supervised courses of mild steroid creams when needed, steroid-free maintenance for eczema, antifungal or antibiotic treatment for infections, and wart treatments such as cryotherapy chosen for the child's age.
Reviews confirm the rash is settling, adjust the routine for the season, and provide notes for school when infections need time away.

Helpful Answers
Mild steroid creams used for short periods under a dermatologist's direction are safe and often necessary to calm an eczema flare. Problems come from strong steroids used for long periods without supervision. We also plan steroid-free maintenance between flares.
For any rash lasting more than a week, itching that disturbs sleep, spreading or oozing patches, sudden hair loss, or a birthmark that is growing or changing. Newborn rashes that worry you are also worth a visit.
Eczema is managed rather than cured, and many children outgrow it. With a good moisturising routine and prompt treatment of flares, most children have long calm periods and sleep well.
Yes. Options include creams, cryotherapy and minor procedures, chosen for the child's age and the site. Some molluscum clears on its own, and we explain when waiting is the better choice.
Yes. Newborn skin needs the gentlest approach, and most infant rashes respond to simple measures. Anything prescribed is chosen for the baby's age and weight.
