Paediatric Dermatology: Birthmarks
On-demand recorded 11 Aug 2020
Although the majority of birthmarks are of cosmetic concern only, the ability to distinguish rarer high-risk birthmark features correctly and manage these presentations appropriately is critically important.
The potential dangers associated with high-risk birthmarks can involve complications such as neurological, structural, skeletal and ophthalmologic abnormalities as well as systemic associations.
This webinar explores how to distinguish high-risk birthmark features correctly and manage such presentations. This webinar will provide GPs with a classification framework to assist in accurate differentiation and diagnosis, current treatment recommendations and ongoing management and monitoring requirements.
Learning outcomes
- Create a classification framework to assist in differentiating benign birthmarks from those requiring specialist referral
- Outline the current treatment recommendations for high-risk birthmarks
- Develop a management and monitoring strategy to ensure improved patient outcomes
