My DD(3) developed a skin rash when we moved house which was diagnosed as urticaria by the GP. It's come and gone and come and gone. Mostly gone when we've gone on visits to Wales (we live in London). I'd like to get to the bottom of what's going on. Tbh, now it doesn't look like urticaria, it's more just very rough skin and lots of dryness round her eyes and scalp. The roughest bits are on her flanks. One theory is that it is the hardness of the water that is the culprit as it clears when we're in Wales.
Also, she's had gunky eyes, weird things on her lips and has been complaining about tummy aches.
It's one of those things it doesn't seem worth going back to the GP over as they're all quite small things, but at the same time I know she's just not right.
For full disclosure, her baby brother has a severe dairy/soya/egg allergy which means we've got a referral for DD to the allergy clinic, but we've tried her on an exclusion diet and it didn't seem to make a difference, however it is harder to be accurate as she's 3 and wilful () and has had the odd bit of dairy during the exclusion period.
I know you can't get a diagnosis over the net, but any fresh ideas are helpful!
