[What’s new in pediatric dermatology?]

Abstract

This article is a selection of the most significant developments in the field of pediatric dermatology through an analysis of the articles published between October 2012 and October 2013. In the field of vascular anomalies, propranolol remains a topic of interest for infantile hemangiomas. New clinical concepts appear in the field of vascular malformations in parallel to genetic progress in this area. New epidemiological data or new pathophysiological concepts apply to atopic dermatitis. Congenital or atypical nevi of the child benefit from genetic progress or improvement of clinical knowledge. Although rare, melanoma of the child concerns by its increasing incidence and its misleadingclinical characteristics. Other data reported here relate to infectious skin of the child, morpheas, neurofibromatosis type 1, psoriasis and other commonly seen dermatoses in children.
