Multivitamin : Depends where you live:a prescription multivitamin might be recommended(in NJ).Otherwise, PolyViSol is an over-the-counter vitamin for young children.I would follow-up with her doctor to recheck her weight if she isn't gaining.Consider seeing a nutritionist for alternative healthy higher caloric foods.Make sure she isn't drinking too much milk(if she is off formula) which can affect appetite.

Months ago Derm told me that It would be good if I use Proscutan cream (D-vitam supplemented cream) for psoriasis. Now, he told me not to start using it and use Diprosal instead. As I searched, Diprosal is steroid. So, it is stronger than Proscutan?
