Taking care of sensitive skin in children

MUDr. Helena Michalíková
Dermatovenerologie, Canadian Medical, s. r. o., Praha

Children's skin is both structurally and functionally different from that of adults. After birth, there are rapid changes associated with maturation of the barrier function in particular, but at the same time the skin immune system is formed, melanogenesis occurs, and so on. Children's skin is softer, more sensitive, and more permeable. There is a risk of increased absorption and, thus, even of toxic action of some compounds (e. g., salicylic acid). Therefore, the care of children's skin and choice of appropriate products should be given particular attention.

Keywords: children's skin, skin barrier function, syndets, tensides, emollients.
