Mom of a 6 yr 8 m old girl4 years ago

Q.

Hello, My daughter is 2.3 years old. From what I can judge, she has dry skin.. But Her toe nails on both feet have tiny cracks and look very brittle. Is this normal with toddlers of this age ? This has been there for quite sometime and I ignored it thinking it must be normal, but now it is worrying me.

A. put a mild cream daily. see there will be lots of brands trying to impress you. but you try to stick to one brand and not fancy items ok. see your pocket too.

A. Nope It is not normal it is definitely due to excessive dry skin so I’m going to advise as of now you should start applying NMFE vitamin E cream regularly on to the dry skin and specially where the skin is crack them all if you do it 2 to 3 times in a day you will definitely see good and great results rather I would say within a weeks time
