Abstract
Dermatologic concerns are common in the general pediatrician's practice. Herein, we review the most commonly encountered cutaneous bacterial, viral, and superficial fungal infections in the pediatric population. We describe clinical presentation, pathogenesis, and current treatments. The goal of this guide is to increase pediatricians' comfort in diagnosing and managing common skin infections, as well as determining when a dermatology referral may be necessary. [Pediatr Ann. 2024;53(4):e138-e145.].
