daughter's skin

Posted by kelly on September 09, 2002 at 21:01:53:

Dr Stoll- My daughter age 2, has "goose pimpled skin" on her stomach, sides, and back. I have taken her to her Dr. twice and he has never seen anything like this. Sometimes she gets red spots that itch as well. Her stomach area is so bumpy and feels terrible to the touch. Nothing has changed in her diet,creams, or lotions, or soaps.These pumps are not fluild filled they just look like gosse bumps . She had this for 3 months now. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks! Kelly

Hi, Kelly.

This is a minor form of "icthyosis". Look it up. Start the EFAs (for her weight--the doses listed are for 150# adults).

There is no possible risk: she just needs more of this than a normal--and will all her life.

Let us know how she does.

Walt
