Your child’s skin deserves the best. Dr. Alessandro Laghi provides safe, tailored pediatric dermatology care in Rome, ensuring comfort for little patients and peace of mind for parents.

Common reasons for consultation include eczema, atopic dermatitis, teen acne, warts, moles, vascular birthmarks, and skin infections.

Early evaluation prevents complications, reduces discomfort, and helps maintain healthy, radiant skin from childhood onwards.

It looked like sweat — but it wasn’t. It looked like dirt — but this 20-year-old patient washed every single day. What seemed like a harmless patch was actually robbing him of rest, keeping him awake with relentless itching.The culprit? Tinea faciei — a fungal infection of the face, most likely contracted from contact with a stray cat. In this case, the infection was unusually widespread, affecting the neck, eyelids, chin, and even part of the scalp. Such an extensive presentation is uncommon and can easily be mistaken for a non-infectious itchy skin condition, such as psoriasis or atopic dermatitis. A misdiagnosis could allow the fungus to spread to other areas — or to other family members.After nearly a month of targeted systemic therapy, the infection was completely eradicated — and the patient finally found relief.
