The link between pediatric dermatology and intellectual disabilities ( ID ) is revised, according to the author's personal experience and the existing published work. Cutaneous manifestations in children with ID can be: (i) a key element to reach a diagnosis, as in neurodermatoses; (ii) a peculiar sign to define a complex syndrome; (iii) linked to behavioral features; (iv) iatrogenic, caused by drugs, as a side‐effect; and (v) independent from ID.
