Pediatric Dermatology Unit activity focuses on both mild and highly complex conditions affecting the skin, nails and hair.

In the Pediatric Dermatology Department, we treat all skin, nail and hair diseases in children, from the most common, to the rarest congenital and acquired diseases, especially in their most severe form. We also treat skin manifestations of other internal diseases. 

SJD Barcelona Children's Hospital is a national and international reference centre with a team of highly specialised dermatologists with extensive experience in childhood dermatological diseases, as well as a leader in research.

We have specialized care units for haemangiomas and vascular malformations, epidermolysis bullosa, keratinisation disorders and ichthyosis, genodermatoses, hair and nail diseases, congenital melanocytic nevus, connective tissue diseases, neurocutaneous diseases and a Laser Unit.

We are pioneers in the treatment, diagnosis, and research of haemangiomas, venous malformations, lymphatic malformations, arteriovenous malformations, capillary malformations (port-wine stains), and overgrowth syndromes associated with vascular malformations. 

The Pediatric Dermatology Department at SJD Barcelona Children's Hospital has been recognised by the Spanish Ministry of Health as a department of reference (CSUR (Centres, Departments and Units of Reference)) in the treatment of epidermolysis bullosa and keratinisation disorders/icthyosis. We are members of the European Reference Network for Rare Skin Diseases (ERN-SKIN), a network that unites centres of expertise in the management of rare skin diseases to collaborate in the best treatment and diagnosis of patients suffering from these diseases that are not prevalent in the general population. We are also part of the ERN VASCERN network for vascular anomalies.

We are committed and we firmly believe in empowering the patient and their direct caregivers, as the main experts on their body and their disease. To this end, we have launched a School of Atopia to raise awareness of the cause of skin hypersensitivity, why outbreaks of eczema occur, and how to control and prevent them.
