N2  - 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
