 A toddler with a rare condition that makes his skin develop painful scales 'like a fish' has almost been cured - thanks to cannabis oil.

Carter Padelford, two, was diagnosed with genetic disorder lamellar ichthyosis three days after he was born, 'as red as a tomato', back in November 2016.

The condition, which affects one in 100,000 people in the US, left him unable to close his eyes completely and his ability to move was limited.

The tot's tight red skin would often crack painfully and his body was unable to regulate his temperature as he could not sweat.

The problem causes sufferers to develop dark, plate-like scales.

When his parents tried mixing cannabis oil with their homemade butters and bath bombs, Carter's life completely changed.

His parents Shai-Anne Sifford and Zach Padelford, both 21, were initially slathering him with coconut oil and shea butter and giving him two oatmeal baths a day to soothe him.

They would also have to exfoliate his scales away every three days - a painful process which they would dread.

Shai-Anne, a full-time mum, said: "When he was born his skin was as red as a tomato and so tight to touch. It looked painful. He couldn't even close his eyes.


"He was diagnosed with lamellar ichthyosis three days later.
