Re: Cracking, peeling skin on fingers and toes...

[Guest guest]

Have similar thing on one thumb. Also from time to time on bridge of nose and

outside edge of one eye. One possibility is psoriasis which can cause this type

of skin problem. The cause of psoriasis is not known for sure but can be caused

by a fungus, just like cancer. It is considered an auto-immune problem where

the skin thinks there is an injury and it continues to grow new skin without

stopping. Sometimes it goes away only to come back again. Just a thought.

peeling and it is red underneath. His big toes have split and opened up to

sores. There is also peeling skin all on the upper part of his foot and around

his toes. It is not itchy like athlete's foot or anything, but it is pretty

painful.

I'm not sure what this is, but wanted to let you know of a product that I had excellent results with for skin issues. Ocean Plasma worked very quickly to get rid of a rash I'd had for about a year. It is also good for detoxing. My daughter uses it also and had a problem with the bottom of her feet peeling which I think is related to her Hashi's.

It is not itchy like athlete's foot or anything, but it is pretty painful. I have been putting cream on it every night and then socks. Our doc recommended a mixture of Desitin diaper cream plus two other homeopathic creams for burns and contusions. It seems to help a little or at least slowed down the amount of peeling but it is not curing it. He has had this once before and it seemed like the cream healed it or maybe it was soemthing else...

I'm not sure what to do for him. He has two MTHFR C mutations which do interfere with detox pathways. He is taking some supplements to help with that.

He is also hypothyroid and taking NatureThroid 1/2 grain. We are still testing blood every time we change the dose and have not got his tsh level to the 1-2 level that his endo wants to see it.

We go in Friday to see the results of Monday's TSH check.

Thanks.

I have found that it can be a lack of good oils - Omega 3 fatty acids.

Evening primrose oil is also good for skin conditions. It contains both LA (linoleic acid) and GLA (gamma-linolenic acid) which are soothing and healing for the skin. Also more effective when taken along with an Omega 3 supplement.LinnOn Feb 24, 2011, at 9:27 AM, ladybugsandbees wrote:

I have found that using good quality coconut oil on my skin has been really

healing. Last year I had bumps that seemed like itchy bites on my forearm. They

openned into sores that didn't heal for months until I tried the coconut oil,

which is good to eat, too.

Thanks, everyone, for all the good info! I have tried coconut oil in the past,

but it's not enough. I think might be on to something with the lack

of oils. I do regularly give him krill oil, but it doesn't have a lot of

dha/epa in it. He cannot handle cod liver oil, for some reason he is very hyper

with it. So I am starting him on a salmon oil supplement that has much more

dha/epa in it. Hopefully, that will help.

maybe this will help your son...my husband also had the peeling fingers...it

would come and go..then after a clear time all of a sudden his finger tips would

start to get hard and then peel....sometime they would be raw pink under the

skin that peeled..so ugly and sometimes tender...

anyway here is how we cleared it up...thinking that a lot of funny skin rashes

are connected to adrenals and issues with cortisol..i had him put on 2 times per

day the following....a thin layer of 1% hydrocortisone cream...then on top of

that he put on a thin layer of polysporin in case there was an underlying

bacterial issue...he did this for a full 7 days...and it cleared up and has not

come back in at least 6 months...

since your son is younger you might want to sort of wean off the cortisone

cream..so do it for a full 7 days..2 times per day...and then after 7 days go to

1 time per day for a few days and then to every other day..i say this so he does

not have adrenal issues coming off the cortaid....

we also did this same protocol for my little girl when she was about7 ..it

worked on her too for a terrible eczema on her foot which she had come and go

for years before we finally got rid of it this way...

good luck!

I have seen others report that CLO causes hyperactivity. Not sure the mode of

action. Vitamins A & D do regulate metabolism so its possible that the increase in

A/D is up regulating metabolism.

I would be careful with DHA & EPA, they are heavily over hyped and can cause

their own set of problems if too much is taken. Here is a good article that

discusses them in their historical context. I consider it a must read for anyone

taking fish oils:
