Is pediatric and dermatology the same thing

[measqu]

I'm hoping to get some help from other forum users about a question I have. Is pediatric and dermatology the same thing? I'm not sure if they are related fields or if they are two completely different medical specialties. I'm a bit confused and would really appreciate it if someone could please clarify this for me. Are there any differences between pediatric and dermatology? Are there any pros and cons to either one? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
