In response to question about special skin condition

[Guest guest]

I asked a well respected dermatalogist the question about the skin

disorder that was mentioned yesterday (2/20) and here is his response:

" I have had only one patient with this condition. It depends how

extensive the condition is. Various peeling agents have been used;

Tazorac, Salicylic acid. I used Lactic acid in Aquaphor on my patient

and he did well i.e it reduced the thickness of the lesions. It depends

if this person has symptoms with the condition or it's only cosmetic.

The emedicine website link attached does a good job of describing the

condition and treatment. Let me know if I can help. "

He has a practice in Northbrook if anyone is interested in his contact

information. He is the parent of two grown men with autism.
