Submitted form. I am a carrier of a faulty gene, passed down to my daughter which has affected two of my grandsons. They have a condition called x-linked ichthiosis. My skin is very dry, theirs is extremely dry and very flaky, like fish scales. It's a condition passed from mother to son with a 50/50 chance of any son developing the condition. We are constantly looking for moisturiser and emollients to relieve it.

Just seen the email to say i have been picked too. Cant wait to try it. 
Fishknife I emailed a couple of days ago to say that I had not as yet received the lotion.
I had a return email to say that there had been a delay, but the lotion would be with me in the next few days.
