Children have a way of coming out with a perplexing variety of spots and skin marks of no obvious cause, especially in the summer. Now you can spot them in a new illustrated guidebook by June Thompson, a practising health visitor and qualified nurse who writes health articles for Professional Nanny. Her book Spots, Birthmarks and Rashes is designed to help carers diagnose and treat all kinds of marks and infections that can appear on a child's body, with the aid of photographs, lists of symptoms and likely causes, and tips on using lotions, medications and home remedies, plus advice on when to seek specialist help. The book is just published this month priced 6.99 from publishers Carroll and Brown (020 7372 0900).
