The Dermatology Department at Riley at IU Health treats children from birth to age 18 with skin, hair and nail conditions. We treat common pediatric dermatology disorders. These disorders include acne, eczema, moles and warts. The department also treats more complex skin disorders, genetic syndromes and tumors.

Our board certified pediatric dermatologist specializes in treatment of vascular tumors and malformations, including hemangiomas. We offer high-quality care through weekly vascular clinics in pediatric dermatology. We provide multidisciplinary care through our Vascular Anomalies Program. Children also have access to comprehensive care by specialists in plastic surgery, interventional radiology, and ear, nose and throat (otolaryngology).

The Dermatology Department at Riley offers inpatient and outpatient laser and excisional surgery. These treat a range of conditions.

Our specialists take part in clinical studies and research related to many skin, hair and nail conditions in children. Studies led by our doctors have received funding support from the National Institutes of Health.

Specific studies about vascular birthmarks are available through collaborative efforts. These efforts are with the Pediatric Dermatology Research Alliance (PeDRA) and the Hemangioma Investigator Group (HIG). The HIG is an international group dedicated to advancing infantile hemangioma research.
