Cracking, peeling skin on fingers and toes...

[Guest guest]

Could this be related to detox? My son is seven and has been taking 12.5 mg

iodoral for about 10 months. The tips of his fingers and his toes,the skin is

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 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.
