What Happened To Mandy Moore Son: His Gianotti-Crosti Syndrome Revealed
Mandy Moore has revealed that her two-year-old son Gus has Gianotti-Crosti syndrome, a common pediatric skin disorder.
The 39-year-old This Is Us actress posted pictures of her eldest son Gus’ leg rashes along with a description of how he handled the issue.
“This sweet boy woke up on Saturday morning with a crazy rash,” she wrote. Perhaps an eczema flare, we reasoned. Oak poison? Allergy. We did everything we could to help him get rid of the itch while trying to figure out what it might be.
‘Went to the emergency room. Pediatrician. Pediatric dermatologist and dermatology. He continues to smile, laugh, and live like the rockstar he is throughout.’Turns out it’s a viral childhood rash that just spontaneously appears called Gianotti-Crosti syndrome. It sometimes accompanies a cold but not in Gus’s case. It’s all over his legs and feet (ouch) and the backs of his arms but nowhere else.

Only a steroid cream and Benadryl at night are recommended. And it can last six to eight weeks. Has anyone else had a similar experience?
“This parenting thing is so strange and difficult, and at times you feel so helpless (yes, I’m incredibly grateful that it’s only an itch on my skin).” Kids are tough, so as long as he keeps grinning, everything will be fine.
According to RareDiseases.net, Gianotti Crosti syndrome (GCS) is an uncommon juvenile skin illness that causes blisters and a papular rash on the skin of the legs, buttocks, and arms.
Skin lesions frequently persist for several weeks and last at least 10 days.
The lesions are typically preceded by an underlying illness (typically a virus), which may result in concomitant symptoms such as sore throat, low-grade fever, or upper respiratory infection symptoms.
This comes after Moore used her Sunday to reflect on her experience potty training Gus.
On her fourth day of potty training in August, the son she shares with husband Taylor Goldsmith, the mother of two posted a fresh selfie in which she appeared to be somewhat frustrated.
“Day 4, fellas. The truth. Potty training is WILD,’ Moore wrote in her Sunday afternoon Instagram story.
It’s just difficult to see the end of the tunnel. It’s incredible how we all figured this out,” Moore concluded.
‘Hats off to anyone who has walked this path,’ Moore concluded her post.
She recently opened up about how much her sons Gus, two, and Ozzie, seven months, truly mean to her.
