The lives of thousands of children and their
families are affected by eczema, a skin disorder which can vary from
a small, mildly irritating patch of skin to a much more widespread,
unsightly rash.
While conventional treatments have given
relief to many children, others continue to suffer the physical and
emotional pain associated with severe eczema. Dr Atherton is an expert
in children's skin disorders, based at Great Ormond Street Hospital
in London. He is also involved in scientific research into the causes
and treatment of eczema.
In this book for parents and affected children
he explains clearly the very latest in what we know about the causes
of eczema and what can be done to treat it, including complementary
therapies. He also gives practical advice on where to go for help and
support. This book is intended for parents and children affected by
eczema and GPs.
