Dermatology for teenagers

Warts are among the most common skin conditions in young people. They can be bothersome, painful or unsightly, particularly on the hands or feet. If conventional treatments do not provide sufficient relief, modern laser treatment may be a suitable option.

Nail fungus (onychomycosis) can develop as early as adolescence and is often associated with feelings of self-consciousness or embarrassment. Fungal infections of the nails can occur particularly after playing sport, visiting swimming pools or when the feet sweat excessively. Early treatment by a dermatologist usually prevents the infection from spreading and significantly improves the chances of a full recovery.

Hormonal fluctuations can have a significant impact on skin condition—both positive and negative. While certain birth control pills can improve acne, skin condition may also worsen after stopping the medication.

Dry skin is a common skin problem that can manifest as tightness, itching, flaking, or redness. Causes can include external factors such as cold weather, dry indoor air, or improper skincare, but internal factors like skin conditions or genetic predisposition also play a role.
