Hi, my daughter is 5 years old and she has very rough skin in her knees. I also notices that she has very dry skin all over her body, with small non colored bumps. Quite often she says that she is itchy all over her body too. Could you please advise what could be the possible reason for that?
Hello. Thanks for writing to us at Chat Doctor I would keep a possibility of Atomic diaeresis in her with Keratitis Polaris (the non-colored bumps you mentioned). Chat Doctor. Keratitis Polaris is predominantly distributed over the upper outer arms, outer thighs, extensor elbows and knee. They present a rough or crater like feel to the skin I was the treating doctor I would have asked to use for her an intensive moisturizer, frequently, but at least twice daily. She may take an oral vitamin A supplement once daily for 1-2 months for keratitis Polaris (non-colored bumps)I would suggest you to visit a dermatologist who would prescribe a moisturizer specially suited to topics. Soaps should be avoided as much as possible, as they may cause further
