Guest guest Posted April 1, 2002 Report Share Posted April 1, 2002 Amy, I have notice that too with my two that have CF I wonder if it has to do with the salt that is on there skin. Deb A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 1, 2002 Report Share Posted April 1, 2002 Just wondering -- why to kids with cf wrinkle up so much from the bathtub, swimming, etc. or is this just my son? Whenever he's in the bath, even just an average amount of time, his little hands and feet get so wrinkled. Also, if his feet get sweaty from his shoes and socks they get wrinkled up too. Thanks, Amy RE: New Therapy Vest Info and Stuff Becki, Thanks for passing this on! I checked out the vest, it looks great. And the sourceCF site looks really neat too. I especially like the electrolyte replacement drink mixes. We are going to have to order some of those! It gets bulky to constantly have Gatorade on hand, and it's already 85 degrees here and gets so sweaty and dehydrated. He also went swimming yesterday and wrinkled up like a prune and was so cranky for hours afterward, I think until he got back into balance. Sure would have been nice to have something like that! %^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^% mama to , 18 mo wCF and SZ Alpha, and , 3.5 yo SZ Alpha, no CF > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 1, 2002 Report Share Posted April 1, 2002 Amy Both my children (1cf & 1 nocf)are prune's when they exit the bath. They do stay in there and play etc. for quite a while. Also the sweat in your son's shoes is constantly wetting his feet so it would be like being in water. RE: New Therapy Vest Info and Stuff > > Becki, > > Thanks for passing this on!

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2002 Report Share Posted April 1, 2002 Ive noticed that my one with CF does wrinkle more than the other. I must be cuz of the lack of salt. BOTH of my kids hands a feet peel after being in water. Anyone elses?? Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 2, 2002 Report Share Posted April 2, 2002 Yes - the feet peel, especially after sweating in shoes. They can get quite raw. The hands are almost always wet or clammy.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2002 Report Share Posted April 3, 2002 me either - but it's true - Santosh wrinkles straight away while Leela is not wrinkled in the same amount of time - they bathe together.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2002 Report Share Posted April 3, 2002 Yes, I'm the one who posted about how wrinkled gets. He really does wrinkle up much faster than my daughter, who is a CF carrier. His hands and feet get so thickly wrinkled from the bath. He also has a tendency to peel if it gets really bad. %^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^% mama to , 18 mo wCF and SZ Alpha, and , 3.5 yo SZ Alpha, no CF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2002 Report Share Posted April 3, 2002 Excess salt in the skin (common in people with CF who lose excess salt though the sweat glands) attracts excess water into the skin, causing the wrinkling.
