Dermatology Care for Children & Teens in Sandy Springs

When Your Child’s Skin Needs More Than Guesswork

Rashes that won’t clear. Eczema that keeps flaring. Acne affecting confidence. Warts that keep spreading. As parents, we know how important it is to feel heard, informed, and confident in the plan.

When it comes to your child’s skin, uncertainty can be stressful — especially when over-the-counter treatments aren’t working and a dermatology evaluation may be needed. At Springs Dermatology MD in Sandy Springs, children and teens are evaluated by a board-certified dermatologist with over 25 years of clinical dermatology experience.

We focus on accurate diagnosis, thoughtful treatment planning, and clear guidance so families feel informed and supported at every step.

Common Skin Conditions We Treat in Children & Teens

We provide thorough evaluations and individualized treatment plans for a wide range of pediatric skin concerns, including:

Pediatric Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis)

Eczema is one of the most common reasons parents seek dermatologic care. We help manage flares, itching, and skin barrier repair with safe, age-appropriate eczema treatment plans.

Acne in Pre-Teens & Teens

Acne can affect confidence during important developmental years. We create personalized acne treatment plans for mild to severe acne, helping reduce breakouts while protecting young, sensitive skin.

Warts & Molluscum Contagiosum

Viral skin conditions such as warts and molluscum are common in children and may spread if untreated. We offer in-office treatments tailored to minimize discomfort and improve outcomes.

Rashes & Inflammatory Skin Conditions

From allergic reactions to psoriasis and contact dermatitis, we help identify triggers and guide families toward effective long-term control.

Birthmarks & Pigmented Lesions

We evaluate birthmarks, moles, and pigment changes to determine whether monitoring or treatment is appropriate.

Trusted Dermatologic Care for Children & Teens

With over 25 years of dermatology experience, Dr. Shereen Timani leads a physician-driven practice where clinical depth and careful judgment guide every pediatric visit.

Children’s skin is not the same as adult skin. It reacts differently, heals differently, and requires thoughtful treatment selection. We apply comprehensive dermatologic training to every evaluation — considering growth, development, and long-term skin health.

We combine medical expertise with a calm, family-centered environment because we understand that skin concerns affect both the child and the parent.

A Thoughtful, Safety-First Approach

When your child walks into our office, the goal isn’t just treatment,  it’s reassurance. Every diagnosis is carefully explained. Every treatment plan is discussed.

We prioritize:

• Age-appropriate therapies

• Conservative treatment when possible

• Clear parent education

• Long-term skin health planning

If diagnostic testing is needed, we use careful, child-conscious techniques and communicate in a way that helps children feel supported — not overwhelmed.

Dermatology Expertise — Applied to Pediatric Care

We treat children and teens with the same diagnostic rigor and clinical precision we apply to all patients.

That means:

• Accurate evaluation of rashes and inflammatory conditions

• Careful management of eczema, acne, and pigment changes

• Evaluation of moles and birthmarks with dermatologic expertise

• Thoughtful treatment planning that considers growth, development, and skin sensitivity Children are not “small adults.”

Children are not “small adults.” Treatment selection and dosing require medical judgment — and that’s where board-certified dermatology training matters.
