Dermatology Department

Pediatric Dermatology – NHS

The Dermatology Department of “Agia Sophia” Children’s Hospital specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of dermatological conditions in infants, children and adolescents. It is one of the few pediatric dermatology centers in Greece operating within a tertiary hospital. The specialized nature of pediatric dermatology — with the particular characteristics of children’s skin, congenital conditions and their association with systemic diseases — makes the department a referral center for conditions requiring an interdisciplinary approach.
