Skin disease?!
Question:
Skin disease?
My 4 yr old has a rare skin disease called Ichtyosis. Has anyone dealt with it or know someone who has. There is no special cream that I can find to help. If you know of any please let me know....
Answers:
Am not sure if these ideas will actually work but are worth a try. Creams with urea are supposed to be very hydrating & softening to the skin. They can be a bit strong for children's sensitive skin so cut back or stop if the skin becomes red. You should try to feed your 4 year old some essential fatty acids such as flax seed oil. There is a product made by Udo's oil that is specifically for kids. Keep researching & good luck.
Go to the Dermadoctor site & search for the question about ichytosis, it gave some more ideas.
