Meet Dr. Lauren Provini — Pediatric Dermatologist in Connecticut for Kids & Children's
Dr. Lauren Provini cares for children and families with a thoughtful, relationship-based approach—helping every patient feel comfortable, confident, and understood.
Board certified in both General Dermatology and Pediatric Dermatology, Dr. Provini is one of only a very small number of physicians in Connecticut and all of New England who has obtained dedicated training and board certification in Pediatric Dermatology.
Not every dermatologist for children has completed dedicated fellowship training in pediatric dermatology. Dr. Lauren Provini is one of only a small number of physicians in Connecticut and all of New England to hold board certification in both General Dermatology and Pediatric Dermatology. That distinction means families searching for a pediatric dermatologist in Connecticut get more than a general skin exam: they get a provider who understands how children's skin, and children themselves, are different from adults at every age and stage.
Unlike a general dermatology practice that sees kids only occasionally, our whole approach from diagnosis, exam rooms, and scheduling is built around what actually works for children. That specialization means fewer repeat visits, faster answers, and a lot less stress for parents trying to figure out what's going on with their child's skin.
Why Families Throughout Connecticut Choose Our Pediatric Dermatologist
Common Conditions We Treat in Kids
Skin issues in children rarely look the same as they do in adults, which is why an accurate diagnosis matters. Our practice regularly sees young patients for skin rash treatment, eczema treatment for kids, molluscum contagiosum, warts, acne, and birthmarks and hemangiomas. Whatever brings you in, our goal is the same: figure out what's really going on and build a treatment plan your family can actually stick with.
What to Expect When Seeing a Dermatologist for Kids Rashes
Parents most often come to us looking for a dermatologist for kids rashes when something isn't responding to the usual creams at home, or simply doesn't look right. Every visit in our office is unhurried, with time built in to explain what's happening and why. We do not just hand over a prescription. Whether it's a stubborn skin rash treatment case, molluscum contagiosum, eczema treatment for kids, or a birthmark you'd like a second opinion on, you'll leave with a clear plan and the confidence to follow it.
We also see plenty of children for skin rash treatment tied to eczema flares, heat rash, or reactions to a new soap or detergent. Rather than guessing at home through a rotation of over-the-counter creams, a proper evaluation can save weeks of trial and error and get your child real relief faster.

FAQ
-
It's worth scheduling a visit any time a rash, bump, or skin change doesn't improve within a week or two, spreads quickly, or comes with fever, pain, or swelling. Birthmarks that grow, change color, or bleed also warrant an evaluation. If you're ever unsure, it's better to have a pediatric dermatologist take a look than to wait it out at home.
-
Children's rashes can come from a wide range of sources, including eczema, allergic reactions, viral infections, heat, irritation from clothing or products, and contagious skin conditions like molluscum contagiosum. Because so many causes can look similar on the skin, an in-person exam is usually the fastest way to get an accurate answer.
-
Yes. Many babies develop rashes such as baby acne, cradle cap, or heat rash in their first months, and most of these clear up on their own with simple care. That said, a rash that lingers, worsens, or seems to bother your baby is worth having checked, since some conditions benefit from early treatment.
