At Treiber Dermatology Associates, we provide thoughtful, specialized care for children of all ages—from infants and toddlers to teens navigating changing skin needs. Our board-certified dermatologists have advanced training from Columbia University and Mount Sinai Hospital, and remain committed to ongoing education to ensure your child receives the most up-to-date, evidence-based care. Families trust us for our gentle approach, attention to detail, and the personalized experience that makes visits comfortable for both parents and children.

Conditions We Treat

Acne

Acne can be frustrating and emotionally challenging. We offer customized treatment plans tailored to your child’s skin and behaviors, including medical therapies, gentle procedures, and evidence-based skincare guidance. No two treatment plans are alike- and we look at your individual child, their skin and their lifestyle to help guide tailored treatments.

Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic, itchy skin condition that can significantly impact sleep and daily comfort. We specialize in creating individualized treatment plans that calm inflammation, reduce itching, and restore the skin barrier. From topical therapies to advanced prescription options when needed, we work closely with families to keep symptoms controlled and improve quality of life for both children and parents.

Birthmarks

Our dermatologists evaluate and monitor all types of birthmarks. We provide expert assessment, discuss whether monitoring or treatment is indicated.

Contact Dermatitis (Allergic or Irritant Rashes)

Children may develop rashes from skincare products, detergents, environmental exposures, or allergens. We perform thorough evaluations to identify the cause of irritation and develop personalized treatment plans. For suspected allergies, we help guide families through avoidance strategies and, when appropriate, arrange for pediatric patch testing to clarify triggers.

Diaper Dermatitis (Diaper Rash)

Diaper rash is one of the most common concerns parents face in infancy and early childhood. We evaluate all forms of diaper dermatitis—from simple irritant rashes to yeast infections and more persistent or atypical presentations. Our dermatologists guide families on soothing inflamed skin, preventing recurrences, and choosing products that protect and strengthen a baby’s delicate barrier.

Eczema

We help families navigate chronic eczema with comprehensive plans that soothe flare-ups and maintain long-term control. Our approach includes medical management, barrier repair strategies, and guidance on sensitive-skin practices that fit into family routines.

Hair and Scalp Disorders (Alopecia Areata, Dandruff, Cradle Cap)

Pediatric hair and scalp conditions can be stressful for families. We diagnose and treat a wide range of concerns, including alopecia areata, flaky or inflamed scalps, excessive shedding, and persistent cradle cap. Our team uses evidence-based therapies to support healthy hair growth and restore comfort to the scalp, providing clear guidance every step of the way.

Impetigo

For bacterial skin infections such as impetigo, we offer prompt diagnosis and effective treatment to relieve discomfort and prevent spread. We educate families on home care, hygiene strategies, and what to watch for as skin heals.

Keratosis Pilaris

Often appearing as rough, bumpy “chicken skin” on the arms, cheeks, or thighs, keratosis pilaris is harmless but can be frustrating for families. We provide gentle, effective treatment options to smooth the skin, improve texture, and manage dryness. Our team helps tailor skincare routines that keep flare-ups to a minimum while supporting a child’s sensitive skin.

Mole Evaluations

Children often develop new moles throughout childhood, and most are completely benign. Our dermatologists perform careful, expert mole evaluations to ensure lesions appear normal for a child’s age and skin type. We monitor changes over time and help parents understand when a mole is typical versus when it may require closer observation or treatment.

Molluscum Contagiosum

A common childhood viral condition, molluscum can be bothersome and persistent. We offer gentle in-office treatments—including extraction, cantharidin “beetle juice”, guidance on at-home treatments and guidance on reducing transmission—to help clear lesions safely and effectively.

Rashes

Children can develop rashes for countless reasons—skin sensitivities, infections, allergies, and more. Our dermatologists provide help with diagnosis and tailored treatment plans, helping families understand triggers and prevent recurrences.

Seborrheic Dermatitis/Cradle Cap

Cradle cap is extremely common in infants and can show up as flaky, greasy, or crusted patches on the scalp or eyebrows. We offer gentle, effective treatments to improve scaling, reduce redness, and keep the skin comfortable. For older children with seborrheic dermatitis, we provide ongoing care that balances the condition without irritating sensitive skin.

Warts

We treat both common and plantar warts with a range of effective options, from cryotherapy to advanced modalities for stubborn lesions. Our goal is to make treatment as comfortable as possible while achieving clear skin.
