Up to 10% of all infants develop some form of eczema. Expert advice and personalised treatment is usually necessary

Typically red, thickened, scaly patches in the scalp or on the skin may affect both adults and children

or hives or nettle rash - an acute itchy skin condition often triggered by infection, allergies, drugs or intestinal parasites

Often caused by staph.aureus (impetigo) or by Group A streptococcal infection are both common in children

Those appearing in childhood are normally benign but other rarer types of naevus maybe more significant

A localised loss of pigment causing white patches to appear on the skin. An autoimmune condition

These may occur in infants and children. Some are genetic. Other conditions maybe autoimmune or due to infection

Sporadic or inherited birthmarks and vascular malformations. Larger vascular lesions may require assessment or treatment
