Daughter's extremely sensitive skin
My daughter is 8 years old. She has very dry skin and allergic to dust (sneezes rapidly in presence of dust). She is also a very active kid because of which she is getting injured frequently.We're getting worried about her injuries after looking at the following history:
1) Some kid pinched her lightly and we see a black patch on her skin - this happened 2-3 times.
2) Whenever she goes for swimming (even after applying a skin cream), she has cut skin on her fingers and toes. Many times, if she is in the swimming pool for more than 30 minutres, the cuts are so bad that the wound starts to bleed.
3) Recently, there are two instances were she walked on rough surface, which had small sharp bumps. All of us walked on it too. However, my daughter had extreme pain on the heels with pain sharper at a specific point. After a couple of days we had even see a black circular dot. This would healed on its own after 7+ days.
4) She has started to develop dandruff these days.
We had been to dermatologists - they had suggested some moisturizing creams (less to more powerful ones). Nothing seem to improve the situation.
After looking at her dry skin (there since she was 2 months old), and recent injuries, are these a possibility of a single body condition? Is there a homeopathy solution to this problem.
Thank you in advance for responding.
Best regards

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
It was done in Jan 2013. All the parameters were within the range. The problems existed even at that time. Only the heel issue is seen now.

Has she been examined by an internist as yet, if not, please do so. A correct diagnosis helps with the case a lot.

We had been to general physician and also a dermatologist. General physician has advised us to use moisturizer. The dermatologist had termed the condition as atopic dermatitis, and gavel us more potent moisturizing cream.
