    Author: Sandoval KR, Machado MCR, Oliveira ZNP, Nico MMS.
    Journal: An Bras Dermatol; 2019 Jul 26; 94(3):341-343. PubMed ID: 31365666.
    Abstract:
    CHILD syndrome (Congenital Hemidysplasia, Ichthyosiform erythroderma, Limb Defects) is a rare X-linked dominant disease. The authors report a 2-month-old patient presenting with typical features of CHILD syndrome that was treated with a topical solution containing cholesterol and lovastatin, with complete clearance of her CHILD nevus. The changes in skin lipid metabolism that explain the CHILD ichthyosiform nevus and their correction through topical application of cholesterol and lovastatin are discussed.
