Children's skin is uniquely sensitive: more prone to rashes, irritation, infections, and inflammatory conditions than adult skin, and often requires a gentler, more specialized approach to care. At Hudson Dermatology, Dr. Neera Agarwal-Antal has been caring for pediatric patients since the very beginning of her practice, treating children from infancy through adolescence with the same level of expertise and personal attention she brings to every patient she sees.
Dr. Agarwal-Antal is a board-certified dermatologist with four board certifications and a genuine passion for caring for the whole family. Whether your infant is struggling with eczema, your school-age child has developed warts, or your teenager is dealing with acne, Hudson Dermatology is equipped to diagnose and treat a wide range of pediatric skin conditions with care that is both effective and age-appropriate.

Children can experience a wide range of skin conditions at every stage of development. At Hudson Dermatology, Dr. Agarwal-Antal has the expertise to evaluate, diagnose, and treat a broad spectrum of pediatric concerns. Pediatric eczema (atopic dermatitis) is one of the most common skin conditions in children, causing dry, red, and intensely itchy skin that often begins in infancy; Dr. Agarwal-Antal offers personalized treatment plans including topical therapies, trigger identification, and advanced options for more severe cases. Acne is extremely common in tweens and teenagers, and kid acne treatment at Hudson Dermatology is thoughtful and personalized, ranging from gentle topical therapies to oral medications for persistent or severe breakouts. Psoriasis in children presents differently than in adults and requires specialized care, and Dr. Agarwal-Antal is experienced in managing it with options that minimize discomfort. Warts caused by HPV are among the most common skin concerns in children, and Dr. Agarwal-Antal offers safe and effective removal using treatments appropriate for the child's age and the location and number of warts.
Additional conditions treated include vitiligo, approached with compassion and a whole-child perspective; rashes and contact dermatitis from allergic reactions, irritants, and viral causes; molluscum contagiosum; birthmarks and vascular lesions; and bacterial, viral, and fungal infections such as impetigo and ringworm. This list is not exhaustive — if your child has a skin concern that isn't listed above, don't hesitate to contact us. Dr. Agarwal-Antal sees a wide range of pediatric dermatology conditions and is here to help. She held the position of head of pediatric dermatology at Akron Children's Hospital for 15 years.
Many childhood rashes are harmless and resolve on their own within a few days. However, there are certain signs that warrant a prompt evaluation by a board-certified dermatologist. You should schedule an appointment at Hudson Dermatology if your child has a rash that is spreading, worsening, or not improving after a few days; intense itching that is disrupting sleep or daily activities; signs of infection such as redness, warmth, swelling, or oozing; a rash accompanied by fever or other systemic symptoms; unexplained changes in skin color or pigmentation; recurring conditions such as eczema or psoriasis that are not well-controlled; or any new or unusual growth, bump, or lesion. When in doubt, it is always better to have your child's skin evaluated sooner rather than later. Early diagnosis leads to faster relief and better outcomes for virtually every pediatric skin condition.
