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
