>>Yes, happened here, I believe its an anti-viral reaction, cleared up for

us with continued use, different from the eczema he gets when gut flora out of

balance

The most common symptom of vitamin A toxicity is an itchy dry red skin rash. On

my son, it looked like a piece of sandpaper was glued to the skin. It usually

starts around the neck, but for my son it started on the tops of his thighs.

how high or references you're familiar with please? linda rn

Not to my knowledge. High-dose vitamin A can cause dry lips and dry nasal

passages, but that's the only connection I see.

Are you concerned about A and D deficiency or A and D toxicity? Our GP runs

these tests for free - completely covered under general health care.

Itchy skin rashes are a form of early eczema, which is a sign of inflammatory

imbalance. It can be triggered by foods. My son would tear himself raw for over

a year until we started epsom salt baths. He now only gets a flare-up when his

immune system is taxed by a cold or flu.
