(d) SKIN DISEASES.
The majority of skin diseases have already been included
under the term "minor ailments," and their treatment falls under
the arrangements as set out under that heading. There is one
skin disease however which requires special mention, and that is
Ringworm of the scalp. This condition is dealt with by arrangement
of the Local Education Authority with (1) Dr. A. E. Kennedy
(2) The London Hospital. The cases are seen first by one
of the medical staff and, after treatment, are re-inspected before
re-admission to school.
Naked eye diagnosis of this condition is not always reliable,
so that as a rule the hair is examined microscopically before the
diagnosis is confirmed.
During the year 28 cases of Tinea Tonsurans (Head Ringworm)
out of 53 were treated by X-rays, and 151 cases of Ringworm
of the body, were treated at the Clinics.
A total of 119 cases of Scabies were also treated at the Clinics.
(e) EXTERNAL EYE DISEASES.
These comprise sore eyes, blepharitis, slight conjunctivitis,
styes, corneal ulcers. Table IV (1) shows that 1,028 such defects
were treated at the Clinics, 45 being treated by private endeavour.
