In June 2006, in the city of Buenos Aires, a group of enthusiastic pediatric dermatologists, headed by doctors María Rosa Cordisco, Margarita Larralde and Silvia Pueyo, with recognized experience in the specialty, met to found the Society of Pediatric Dermatology for Latin America (SDPL).
The main objective of this entity is to promote the development, improvement and dissemination of pediatric dermatology and stimulate specialization in this branch of medicine, throughout the Argentine territory; as well as its projection to the remaining Latin American countries.
In 2021, during the 14th WCPD in Edinburgh, SDPL was chosen by the International Society of Pediatric Dermatology (ISPD) board to host its next World Congress of Pediatric Dermatology.
The International Society of Pediatric Dermatology (ISPD) is a worldwide, non-profit, scientific organization formed by professionals interested in promoting Pediatric Dermatology. It is aimed to carry out collaborative efforts to improve Pediatric Dermatology for the general health of infants and adolescents. The ISPD promotes the development of Pediatric Dermatology through clinical practice, research, teaching, conferences, courses, meetings, publications and consultation.
The ISPD is also aimed to promote human and scientific relations with other scientific groups and societies having goals similar to those of the ISPD, as well as the formation of national societies of Pediatric Dermatology.
The ISPD was originally born by inspiration of the following persons: Martin Beare (Northern Ireland), Armando Franco (Mexico), Ferdinando Gianotti (Italy), Joan E. Hodgman (USA), Coleman Jacobson (USA), Guinter Khan (USA), Andrew M. Margileth (USA), Edmund J. Moynahan (England), Dagoberto O. Pierini (Argentina), Ramón Ruiz-Maldonado (Mexico), Lawrence M. Solomon (USA), Eva Torök (Hungary), and Kazuya Yamamoto (Japan). The above met in Mexico City on October 18, 1973, on the occasion of the First International Symposium on Pediatric Dermatology. Since then, thirteen World Congresses of Pediatric Dermatology (WCPD) have been celebrated every four years, and the most recent took place in September 2021 in Edinburgh, Scotland.
