A seven-month-old child had scaly skin on the palms and feet. The pediatrician said that this is a manifestation of a lack of vitamin A. We began to use retinol ointment. Smeared twice in the morning and evening. This drug was used for about 3 months. They put on a palm and a mortar a thin layer, then they dressed "gloves" and socks. The result did not appear instantaneously, and after a while the skin tightened and became smooth. Retinol does not have a distinct odor. Color - yellowish. The main difficulty was that the child after the application did not pull his hands in his mouth. The price of the drug is affordable.

Itself drank vitamin A in a dragee in the spring when an acute shortage of vitamins and dropped out horribly. I drank in the morning and in the evening. This has become a habit and I have never forgotten about it. The result also gradually appeared. Nails began to look good, the hair stopped falling out. This is a great tool - it helps both old and small!
