The Society for Pediatric Dermatology (SPD) developed a set of handouts about skin conditions in individuals with Down syndrome. The handouts refer to infants, children, and teenagers with Down syndrome; however, much of the information is also applicable to adults with Down syndrome.
PDFs of the handouts are linked below. Word versions of the handouts are available on the Resources for Patients With Down Syndrome page of the SPD website.
Includes information about:
- dry skin and eczema
- acne
- syringomas
- rashes around the mouth
- alopecia areata
- folliculitis and hidradenitis suppurativa
- seborrheic dermatitis
- tinea pedis and onychomycosis
- sun protection
- elastosis perforans serpiginosa
