Mandy Moore opens up about her two-year-old son’s Gianotti-Crosti Syndrome diagnosis
Mandy Moore opens up about her two-year-old son’s Gianotti-Crosti Syndrome diagnosis
Mandy Moore has opened up about her two-year-old son Gus’s diagnosis with Gianotti-Crosti Syndrome, a rare skin condition that develops during childhood. The 39-year-old actress detailed her son’s condition in a series of posts on her Instagram Story. She explained how Gus, who she shares with her husband Taylor Goldsmith, woke up with an unidentifiable rash on 29 July. According to Moore, Several doctors were unsure of what exactly the rash was but ultimately ended with a diagnosis of Gianotti-Crosti Syndrome. “This sweet boy woke up with a crazy rash on Saturday am,” Moore wrote over a photo of Gus holding a lollipop inside what looked like a doctor’s office. “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.” She continued: “Went to urgent care. Paediatrician. Dermatologist. Paediatric dermatologist. All the while, he smiles and carries on like the rockstar that he is.” The following photo displayed a close-up of Gus’s legs and feet covered in raised red patches. “Turns out it’s a viral childhood rash that just spontaneously appears called Gianotti-Crosti syndrome. It’s all over his legs and feet (ouch) and the backs of his arms but nowhere else,” the This Is Us star wrote. “There’s nothing to do but a steroid cream and Benadryl at night. And it could last six to eight weeks. Ooooof. Anyone ever experience this?” Moore added a final slide of Gus from a different day and admitted to the struggle she’s endured as a parent. “All of that to say, this parenting thing is 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,” the creator noted. According to WebMD, the rash can also be referred to as “papular acrodermatitis of childhood,” and affects the legs, arms, and face. Viral illnesses can bring about this rare condition and can appear while “your child is recovering from another illness”. Children between the ages of nine months to nine years old are more likely to develop the rash. However, it’s not impossible for adults to get it. “The rash often first appears on or near the buttocks, then spreads to the arms, legs, and face. The blisters vary in size and may be filled with fluid. They may be pink, red, or brown in color,” WebMD said. Swollen lymph nodes and a mild fever are symptoms of the skin condition too. Although the rash may take anywhere between four to eight weeks to heal on its own, little to no scarring should be left on the skin. In 2021, Moore gave birth to Gus, short for “August,” before having her second baby, Oscar ‘Ozzie’ Bennett. The Tangled Ever After voice spoke about the gratification she and Goldsmith felt at the end of each day in her 31 May post. “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,” the actor proclaimed. “I wouldn’t have it any other way. I mean, I do look forward to feeling moderately well rested sometime in the next decade? But [shrug emoji].” The photo showed Gus and Ozzie staring at each other on a picnic blanket at the park.

24 hours on and Berlin town still fearful of mystery escaped lion
24 hours on and Berlin town still fearful of mystery escaped lion
German police continue to search for a lioness on the loose in a Berlin suburb, with helicopters and armoured vehicles used in counter-terrorism deployed to track down the beast. Authorities were alerted during the early hours of Thursday morning after residents in the south-western outskirts of the city claimed to have seen the wild cat in the woods. At least 30 police cars were deployed alongside commandos, drone fleets and veterinarians to help with the search, with local residents told to stay indoors until it is found. On Thursday evening, a police officer was heard shouting “get out of the woods quickly!” to joggers, with his colleague telling residents: “it’s heating up, it was just seen”. Despite this, the location of the lioness remained elusive overnight with specialist hunters carrying tranquiliser guns and machine pistols remaining at various locations around Kleinmachnow. A video shared on Twitter, which police believe to be real, appears to show the lioness wandering through a wooded area near the affluent suburb. Bild, the German tabloid, used geolocation software to pinpoint the exact location, which was revealed to be just 30 metres from a residential building. Local zoos, sanctuaries and circuses have all denied that one of their lions had escaped, causing speculation that the cat had been kept privately as a pet or was a false alarm. Michael Grubert, the mayor of Kleinmachnow, sought to reassure local residents that the animal would be caught swiftly, and if possible without bloodshed. “Our hunters... are also equipped with ammunition... the first objective is to capture,” he said. “Other measures will only be taken by police officers if their lives or the lives of others are endangered.” He also warned residents against outdoor activities, saying: “I wouldn’t go jogging.” Children have been advised not to ride bikes, and the local nursery school will not allow its pupils out to play tomorrow as the search is ongoing. Police spokesperson Daniel Keip told RBB that "in the summer you often hear reports of crocodiles in swimming lakes and then it turns out all it was, was a big duck. In this case it’s obviously totally real. We’re dealing with a lioness that’s roaming freely through Teltow, Stahnsdorf and Kleinmachnow." Residents have been advised to stay indoors and to keep their pets with them, while guidance has been issued for people to avoid the forest and seek shelter immediately if they see the lioness. Florian Eiserlo of the Four Paws animal welfare organisation told the Rheinische Post newspaper that if anyone runs into the animal, they should not panic. "Stand still, stay calm, try to head to a safe area such as a car or a building," they said. Despite this, some residents remain sceptical with local circus director Michel Rogall telling the Taggespiel newspaper: “If it’s a lion, I’ll eat my hat.” Read More Escaped lion causes lockdown in Berlin Police discover burglary ‘suspect’ is baby deer hiding in basement The sea otter harassing surfers off the California coast eludes capture as her fan club grows 'Lioness' on the loose?
