Pediatric Dermatology 

Gentle, expert skin care for children. From birth through adolescence

At ELEMENTAL Day Surgical Center, we understand that children's skin is different. It is more sensitive, more reactive, and requires a fundamentally different approach than adult dermatology. That is why our pediatric dermatology service is designed to be gentle, thorough, and tailored specifically to young patients — from newborns and infants to children and teenagers.

When your child has a skin concern — whether it is a persistent rash, eczema, or a birthmark — you need answers you can trust and care you can feel confident in. During your consultation, Dr. Olivera Nikolic, a DHA-licensed dermatology specialist with extensive experience in both adult and pediatric dermatology, will provide:

A detailed review of your child's medical history, including any allergies, family history, and previous treatments
A thorough, gentle clinical skin examination appropriate for the child's age and comfort level
Age-appropriate explanations and a calm, reassuring approach to help your child feel at ease
A clear diagnosis and a personalized treatment plan that prioritizes safety, efficacy, and the child's comfort

We believe that treating a child means treating the whole family. We take time to answer your questions, address your concerns, and provide practical guidance for home care.

Dr. Olivera Nikolic provides expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of pediatric dermatological conditions, including but not limited to:
