This guide for parents looks at how to identify and treat conditions that may affect a child's skin. Incubation period, symptoms, diagnosis and medical treatments are explained, and there is advice on when to call the doctor, as well as extended coverage on hard-to-identify and dangerous rashes. At-a-glance diagnosis charts in every chapter refer readers to possible causes. Colour photographs and artworks throughout illustrate the appearance and site of the rash. The book includes suggestions for complementary and self-help treatments.
