Pediatric Dermatology

Part of Strong Memorial Hospital

Children and adolescents are special in many ways, some of which are the unique presentations that characterize dermatologic conditions in the pediatric age group. At URMC Pediatric Dermatology, we aim to provide our pediatric patients, between birth and 18 years of age, that have skin, hair, and nail conditions with the specialized care they deserve in a patient- and family-friendly environment.

We also specialize in caring for some adults with childhood skin conditions, such as vascular anomalies and genetic skin conditions.

Why Your Child Needs a Pediatric Dermatologist

Pediatric dermatologists are dermatologists and/or pediatricians who undergo extra training in pediatric dermatology. They specialize in diagnosing and treating pediatric patients with skin conditions.

Spotlight: Maria Rosa Cordisco, M.D.

Maria Rosa Cordisco, M.D. comes to UR Medicine treating common skin diseases in children in Buenos Aires, Argentina, for more than 50 years. In addition to her pediatric dermatology practice, she developed significant expertise in vascular anomalies: Infantile Hemangiomas (strawberry birthmarks), port wine birthmarks, and other congenital anomalies that affect blood vessels.

An international expert in Vascular Anomalies, Dr. Cordisco will be leading the new Vascular Anomalies Clinic for pediatric and adult patients in the dermatology department. Cordisco returns to Rochester to join the pediatric dermatology division in offering diagnosis, treatment, and care coordination with regional, national, and international vascular anomalies groups as needed.
