Parents have been given the low down on skin complaints for National Eczema Week.
Sure Start Children’s Centres in Torquay, Paignton and Brixham hosted clinics with health visitor Vashti Wilks and nurse Sarah Burns.
They offered advice and showed parents how to use moisturisers and creams.
Ms Wilks said: “There are a few things parents can do to help like freezing soft toys overnight to kill dustmites, cool creams in the fridge before putting them on the skin and apply creams downwards so that the hair is combed. This will stop the hair from being itchy.”
