journal information
The European Journal of Pediatric Dermatology was founded in 1991 as a direct descendant of Pediatric Dermatology News. The latter first appeared in 1982.

The European Journal of Pediatric Dermatology is the post-graduate journal of the European Society for Pediatric Dermatology (ESPD) and the official bulletin of the "Società Italiana di Dermatologia Pediatrica" (SIDerP).

The European Journal of Pediatric Dermatology publishes original reports referring to children’s skin diseases.

It also publishes in each issue, starting from vol. 3, n. 1, 1993 a chapter of a book of "Practical Pediatric Dermatology". This initiative is directed to the general pediatrician and dermatologist. Its aim is to treat the practical problems of Pediatric Dermatology in a simple and exhaustive way. These problems will be dealt with from the point of view of the physician who in her/his infirmary faces a child with cutaneous problems such as pruritus, a spot or a localized alopecia.

Starting from these symptoms and signs, a complete treatment of all the skin diseases responsible for these clinical features will follow. The treatment will privilege the criteria necessary to reach a correct diagnosis and therapy, with ample space given to color images, necessary for communicating in this scientific branch. The final aim is to give the reader a text which is easy to consult and able to help her/him in the interpretation and therapy of the daily infantile skin disorders of out-patients.
