    AbstractDermatitis is a frequent cause for referral to the pediatric dermatologist. In this article, a brief overview is given of common childhood dermatoses as well as some rarer dermatoses that may give the clinician cause for concern. Widespread scaling and erythema, described as erythroderma, are a cause of frustration for patients, families, and their physician(s). Both unusual and common skin disorders can present in this fashion. Just as recognizing common dermatoses is important, it is also important to recognize when a dermatitis fails to fit the common pattern and may prompt further investigation.Copyright © 2013.
