Children and Young People at My:Skyn Clinic

At My:Skyn Clinic, the safety and wellbeing of children and young people is our highest priority. We provide medical care for under-18s only where it is clinically appropriate and always within a clear safeguarding framework.

Who we Treat

We may treat children and young people under the age of 18 for medical conditions only, not for cosmetic or aesthetic purposes.

This includes, for example:

  • Medical dermatology conditions (such as eczema, acne, infections, moles and other skin concerns)
  • Minor medical procedures where clinically appropriate
  • Other health conditions assessed and managed by our doctors where treatment is in the child’s best interests
  • We do not provide cosmetic, aesthetic or slimming treatments to anyone under the age of 18.

Parental consent

  • A parent or legal guardian must provide consent for all patients under 18.
  • Parents or guardians are normally expected to be present at consultations and treatments.
  • All care is explained clearly so that both the young person and their parent/guardian understand the assessment and treatment plan.

Safeguarding and child protection

We take safeguarding seriously. Our clinic:

  • Follows safeguarding principles to protect children and young people
  • Ensures clinicians consider the child’s welfare in every consultation
  • Works within professional standards and ethical guidance
  • Will take appropriate action if any safeguarding concerns are identified

Our approach to care

We aim to provide a calm, respectful and supportive environment for children and families. Appointments for young people are handled sensitively, with time taken to:

  • Listen to concerns
  • Explain conditions and treatment clearly
  • Answer questions from both parents and young people
  • Ensure everyone feels comfortable and informed
  • If you are unsure whether your child’s condition is suitable

If you are unsure whether we can help with your child’s condition, please contact our team. We are happy to advise whether an appointment would be appropriate.
