HELP! Confused about Lotions with LACTIC ACID

[Guest guest]

Recently a dermatologist recommended using a skin lotion like Lacticare to

reduce keratosis pilaris -- those relatively harmless little skin bumps that

make skin on the upper arms, etc. feel rough.

But I'm reading conflicting information about lactic acid in people with

mitochondrial dysfunction. I've been told that high levels of lactic acid are

one of the biomarkers of mito dysfunction. But elsewhere I've read that high

levels of lactic acid are NEEDED for mitochondria to function properly.

So... is a skin lotion high in lactic acid contraindicated for a child whose lab

tests show high levels of lactic acid?
