Home Doctoring
In some families at the moment there is an outbreak of facial sores (impetigo) among the "Very Juniors." It’s distressing to see the clear skin of your youngest breaking out in horrible infected sores, and it takes a bit of clearing up. Thoroughly cleanse each one with really weak antiseptic, or even warm soap and water. Dab on zinc ointment, and then dust over with powdered starch. They spread by contact,
so it’s wiser whenever possible to keep them covered. They should clear right away in about ten days.
