in offices of primary care pediatricians at least 20 % patients suffer from skin diseases. In last decades we observe an increase in allergic

skin manifestations, constitutional dermatitis involves at least 5–15 % of pediatric population. Seborrheic dermatitis precedes frequently

constitutional dermatitis already in first weeks of life. Preschool and school children with respect to their social contacts and numerous

sport activities suffer by a number of skin infections, mainly impetigo. The most frequent skin disease of babies is surprisingly diaper dermatitis.

The author summarizes clinical information about these diseases and discusses options of their modern and safe treatment.

Keywords: diaper dermatitis, constitutional dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, impetigo vulgaris, clinical manifestation and treatment.
