Guest guest Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 Hi There My ASD son (now 4.5) had peeling fingers last winter (I live in Australia, where it is summer now). At the time I talked to other people on the various ASD egroups and it seems to happen to quite a few of these kids. My sons has gone away. I'm not sure what did it. It could even be a reponse to the cold (ie. I imagine it is winter where you are). maybe zinc supplementation helped too. Sorry I couldn't be more help. I was terribly worried at the time and his fingers (and some parts of his hand) were red raw and very sore. Looking at his hands now they look perfect. So it does get better (somehow). The numerous doctors we saw at the time were also no help - " cover his hands in petroleum jelly " . Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 I had a student of mine have this happen to her. It turned out that she was playing with some limes in her friends backyard and she had a bad reaction to them. I would question everything she ate or touched that day. I'm not sure how they treated her, but it did finally get better and go away. Sharla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 I sometimes get peeling fingers in winter when I get very stressed and am lacking in sleep etc. Zinc does help heal, but it is a combination of problems (winter cold, dehydration?, stress...) that triggers it for me. To help it heal faster, soak in olive oil or wheat germ oil. Or rub on some aloe vera (pure not cream with chemicals) if tolerated. I take a homeopathic tissue salt - No 1 which helps with skin elasticity. It helps but does not remove the source of the problem.

We are talking several thick layers of skin and > the skin under this is thin, red, and sore.

Also on her left thumb and left middle > finger. My son had something similar to this. It started with his index finger tho, but quickly spread to other fingers. For my son, it was yeast. I had him soak his fingers in a GSE solution, plus I gave GSE orally. The peeling stopped within a day or so. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 > -Hello Dana, What is GSE Solution please? Thanks Eileen. Put several drops of GSE into a small dish of water. Mix it well [GSE tends to drop to the bottom and stick]. Soak the affected body part for several minutes [longer is better]. This works very well for fungal skin issues for my family.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 I thought you'd gone to bed Eileen!!! I was thinking earlier......if its the middle of the day in UK then it must be middle of the night in Taz when you posted LOL GSE is GrapeFRIUT Seed Extract, not to be confused with GrapeSEED Extract.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 -Hi Dana, Feeling really doapy here but still don't know what GSE is. Any clues? I used to get flare ups of a fungal skin rash on torso that left me with more white spots than a Tazzie Quoll Marsupial.(Havent since enzymes etc) Various Drs were rather clueless and just handed out creams with NOT much explanation, Am SO glad I was pointed to this board. ) Thank you Eileen. -- In , " danasview " <danasview@y...> wrote: > > > -Hello Dana, What is GSE Solution please?

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 - Lol lol, Hi Mandi, I did, Am begining my day again now, I don't usually stay up so late (Was 1 am ish When posted last night) Was wondering about the time differance between here in Taz,UK and USA. Love the multiculturalism on this board lol, I could clog up and time waste all day with unrelated comparing of culture and beauty of our differant places of residence. Thank you for that clarification, There is SO much I have yet to learn. You seem like a full bottle on lots. ;o) Eileen. -- In , Mum231ASD@a... wrote: > I thought you'd gone to bed Eileen!!!
