Guest guest Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 What does the Vit A overdose rash look like? I can't find any photos online, does anyone have a photo? Just want to be sure we don't have it. TIA. Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just want to be sure we don't have it. For my son, it looked like a sheet of sandpaper glued to the top of his thighs. Most kids get it around the neck area and it makes the neck look dirty, but my son had it on the tops of his thighs. It was raised, red, and VERY itchy. Two other kids had vitamin A toxicity here also, but they did not have the rash, they had other symptoms of toxicity. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
