Leading treatments from genetic dermatology specialists

Genetic disorders, which are often inherited from a parent, can cause a wide range of symptoms, including symptoms that affect the skin. These diseases require specialized care and monitoring. Our dermatologists are skilled at recognizing rare dermatology diseases and use advanced diagnostic and screening tests so that you get an accurate diagnosis.

In addition to offering leading skin diagnosis and treatment options that can help clear your skin, we partner with experts from other specialties to address the full spectrum of symptoms and complications that can occur with genetic diseases. Your care team may include providers with expertise in genetics, oncology, gastroenterology, surgery, and other disciplines. If you have a child with a genetic skin disorder, we coordinate their care with their pediatrician and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia to help make a smooth transition to adult care when it’s time.

Genetic skin disorders can have serious complications, like cancer, but at Penn Medicine, you can trust that you’ll get the highest level of coordinated care from skilled specialists.
