Product Description
Synopsis
Finding unexpected marks or rashes on a child's skin can be an upsetting and confusing experience for any parent. Your child may only have an insect bite - but how can you be sure? As a practising health visitor, June Thompson, is used to dealing with parents' anxieties and has produced this comprehensive book to help parents diagnose and hopefully treat any skin problems they may find. At the heart of "Spots and Rashes" is a directory of infectious skin conditions; each one has a diagnostic photograph, a list of symptoms, and guidelines on conventional and alternative remedies. Other spots, rashes and birthmarks are treated thematically, helping parents not only to recognise, but also to understand the caused of childhood skin problems. Background information covers the anatomy, physiology and protective care of the skin; how to apply various creams, lotions and gels correctly and how often and how much to use; related medical terms; known skin irritants, and medical and surgical techniques. The clear, approachable photographic images and jargon-free text will enable parents to take appropriate action and perhaps avert a life-threatening situation.
