What is Pediatric Dermatology?
Pediatric dermatology focuses on the skin, hair, and nail conditions that affect infants, children, and teenagers. Children’s skin is different from adult skin, and many conditions call for a gentle, age-appropriate approach. Dr. Craig Singer is board-certified in both dermatology and pediatrics, so he understands skin disease and how to care for young patients and put families at ease.
Because Dr. Singer trained and is board-certified as a pediatrician as well as a dermatologist, he sees the whole child, not just the skin. Families from Bingham Farms and across metro Detroit bring children of every age to the practice, from newborns with their first rash to teenagers managing acne.
Dual board certification
Board-certified in both dermatology and pediatrics, an uncommon combination that pairs deep skin expertise with pediatric training.
Sees the whole child
Pediatric training means a child’s skin concern is considered in the context of their overall health and development, not in isolation.
Gentle, child-friendly care
Visits and treatments are chosen with comfort in mind, and parents are walked through every option so the whole family is at ease.
Common children’s skin conditions we care for
From newborn rashes to teenage acne, Dr. Singer cares for the full range of pediatric skin concerns. A few of the most common:
Eczema (atopic dermatitis)
An itchy skin condition with scaly red patches, bumps, oozing, and crusting. It usually starts in childhood, with more than 50% of children affected before one year of age.

Rashes & contact dermatitis
Recurrent itchy rashes from exposure to an allergen or chemical. Poison ivy is the classic example; patch testing can help find the underlying cause.

Moles & skin checks
Moles (nevi) are benign growths of pigment cells, and nearly everyone has at least one. Skin checks help tell harmless moles from ones worth watching.

Pediatric eczema
Childhood eczema care, tailored to your child
One of the top reasons families look for a pediatric dermatologist is eczema, or atopic dermatitis, in their child. It tends to start in infancy with dry, itchy, inflamed patches, and the right routine can make a dramatic difference.
