What are the most common skin problems?

Dermatological diseases are ranked fourth in the world among the pathologies that most affect the quality of life. Some are mild, some are recurrent, some are more serious.

Here are the most common:

Children and newborn skin care and prevention

Babies' skin is thinner, more fragile and more sensitive than adults' skin. It is also less resistant to bacteria and triggers that can irritate skin (e.g. wool, heat).

The skin includes a barrier that prevents the loss of too much moisture, and protects the skin from harmful germs or irritants. Appropriate cleansing, moisturising and sun protection will help maintain your baby's skin barrier, and prevent skin problems in the future.

It's best to use skin care products made specifically for babies or kids, such as fragrance-free and tear-free shampoos, bath gels, and lotions. With each one you use, be watchful of your child's reaction in case they are allergic.

In general, babies younger than 6 months should be kept out of direct, per the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). But you can apply sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15 on small areas of the body, such as the face, for babies younger than 6 months and all over for older babies.

We take care of your skin.

Our dermatologists welcome you for personalized care of all your skin, hair and nail problems.

Our Tips for Taking Care of Your Skin

As the largest organ in the human body, the skin plays a fundamental role in protecting the body and therefore it is important to take good care of it. To help your skin face external aggressions, stay beautiful and in good health, here are some tips from our specialists:

Protect yourself from the sun
It can be fun to get out and enjoy sunshine, and the vitamin D provided by the sun can help with your overall health. However, too much sun can be damaging.Avoid sun in the middle of the day, from about 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The ultraviolet rays, which cause sunburn, are strongest during this time. Put on broad-spectrum sunscreen that blocks both UVA and UVB rays and has an SPF of 30 or higher before you go outside. Don’t forget to put a thick layer on all exposed skin.

Our answers to the most frequently asked questions about dermatology

How do you know if a mole is dangerous?

If one of your moles evolves in a few weeks or a few months, it becomes asymmetrical, changes color, its edges become irregular and its diameter is greater than 6 mm, you must consult quickly.

Should you wash your face with soap?

As a general rule, you will not be advised to wash your face with soap. This can attack your epidermis and dry out sensitive skin. It is better to opt for a cleansing product without special face soap.

How often to see a dermatologist?

If you have one or more risk factors for melanoma, it's generally recommended that you get checked out at least once a year by a dermatologist. The latter will modify, if necessary, the frequency of the examinations.
