A new school year means fresh notebooks, sharpened pencils, and packed schedules, but it is also a great time to check in on your child’s skin. From acne breakouts to mysterious rashes, skin issues often tag along during the school year, especially as routines shift and stress levels rise.
As a pediatric dermatologist, I see many children and teens whose skin flares up just in time for school pictures or soccer season. Acne is one of the most common concerns, and it can show up on the face, back, or chest. Sports gear, helmets, sweat, and hormones all play a role. The good news? There are effective treatments that can help keep breakouts under control and boost confidence along the way.
Beyond acne, this season is also the perfect opportunity to schedule a skin check. Just like annual physicals, regular skin evaluations help us monitor birthmarks, moles, eczema, and other skin changes that may need attention. These quick visits can make a big difference, especially when it comes to catching concerns early and keeping skin healthy year-round.
Whether your child is navigating their first year of middle school or gearing up for senior year, we are here to support their skin health every step of the way. A little prevention now can go a long way and we are always happy to answer questions, create customized regimens, and make your child feel comfortable in their skin!
