Skin complaints are common among pediatric patients, yet as of 2020, fewer than 400 board-certified pediatric dermatologists currently practice in the United States. Pediatric teledermatology may address barriers to dermatologic care in children, assisting with distant geographic locations and long wait times. A review of the literature was conducted to synthesize important features of teledermatology for pediatric dermatologists. We summarize types of telemedicine platforms, common dermatologic conditions seen by pediatric teledermatologists, diagnostic accuracy and concordance, and guidelines from the American Academy of Dermatology and the American Telemedicine Association regarding teledermatology. This report highlights the utility of pediatric telemedicine in both the outpatient and inpatient dermatology setting to increase access to high-quality dermatologic care.
皮肤问题在儿科患者中很常见，但截至2020年，目前在美国执业的获得委员会认证的儿科皮肤科医生不到400名。儿科远程皮肤病学可以解决儿童皮肤病护理的障碍，帮助解决地理位置偏远和等待时间长的问题。我们进行了文献综述，以总结儿科皮肤科医生远程皮肤病学的重要特征。我们总结了远程医疗平台的类型、儿科远程皮肤病学医生常见的皮肤病、诊断准确性和一致性，以及美国皮肤科协会和美国远程医疗协会关于远程皮肤病学的指南。本报告强调了儿科远程医疗在门诊和住院皮肤病环境中的效用，以增加获得高质量皮肤病护理的机会。
