The This Is Us actress, 39, shared photos of her eldest son's rashes down his legs and detailed Gus' resilient attitude to dealing with the condition
Mandy Moore has revealed her toddler son Gus, two, has common childhood rash condition, Gianotti-Crosti syndrome.
The This Is Us actress, 39, shared photos of her eldest son's rashes down his legs and detailed Gus' resilient attitude to dealing with the condition.
She wrote: 'This sweet boy woke up with a crazy rash on Saturday AM. We thought maybe an eczema flare? Poison oak? Allergy. We tried to deduce what it could be and did anything to help him find relief from the itch.
'There's nothing to do but a steroid cream and Benadryl at night. And it could last 6-8 weeks. Anyone else ever experience this?
'This parenting thing is so weird and hard and sometimes you feel so helpless (and yes I'm ever so grateful it's only an itchy skin condition). Kids are resilient and as long as he's smiling through it, we are a-okay.'
Gianotti Crosti syndrome (GCS) is a rare childhood skin condition characterized by a papular rash with blisters on the skin of the legs, buttocks, and arms, per RareDiseases.net.
Skin lesions typically last at least 10 days and often last for several weeks.
The lesions are usually preceded by an underlying infection (usually a virus), which may cause associated symptoms such as low-grade fever, sore throat, or symptoms of an upper respiratory infection.
This comes after Moore took part of her Sunday to reflect on her potty training journey with Gus.
The mother of two shared a new selfie of her looking rather exasperated, on her fourth day of potty training August, who she shares with husband Taylor Goldsmith.
'Day 4. Guys. Real talk. Potty training is WILD,' Moore began in her Instagram story post on Sunday afternoon.
'It's just hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. How we all learned how to do this is miraculous,' Moore continued.
'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.
'These dudes rule my heart. Each night, Taylor and I fall into bed after we’ve put them down; after we’ve straightened up from the chaos of dinner/bath and set up for the next morning and we chat about the day….' she captioned the post.
'And just how utterly nonstop and gratifying it is,' she continued.
'You never know what the day will bring and you roll with it to the best of your ability, right?' she added.
'All of that to say, I wouldn’t have it any other way. I mean, I do look forward to feeling moderately well rested sometime in the next decade?' she concluded.
She also took to Instagram last month to pay tribute to her husband Taylor for Father's Day.
'You were writing songs about coaching Little League well before we got married so I had *some* inkling that being a Dad was something you would excel at but I truly had no idea just how exceptional and natural you’d be until we were in it,' she said.
'I marvel at all you bring to the table- your patience, your gentle nature, your willingness to change a diaper or get up with a crying baby without me ever asking or to run around and get in the dirt with a very active toddler at any moment,' she said.
'Your ability to get Gus to eat something he’d flat out refused with me or elicit Ozzie’s immediate laughter, your music curation for our boys- which is TOP NOTCH… I could go on and on….' she added.
'I can’t believe we get to do this parenthood journey together. The 3 of us are the luckiest to have you, T. Love you to the moon and Happy Father’s Day!!!' she concluded.
She can currently be seen as Benita Alexander on the Peacock streaming service series Dr. Death.
Moore is also attached to star in Thread: An Insidious Tale, alongside Kumail Nanjiani, which is currently in pre-production.
