Mothers & Children

From the early stages of pregnancy and new motherhood to growing children and the independence of adolescence, skin faces a host of challenges – from healing wounds and keeping out foreign invaders to shielding against the ravages of light, heat and dehydration. As the largest organ of the body, the skin plays many important roles: it protects our bodies, senses physical stimuli, regulates temperature and helps to maintain a healthy balance of fluids and nutrients.

‘Atopic Mothers & Children’ offers unique insight into the functioning and health of skin throughout childhood and motherhood from the most common skin conditions to some of the rarest disorders.
