If anyone could help it would be really appreciated! My daughter has had this problem with her skin a few weeks after I started weaning her, she's now 8 1/2 months old and she has been reffered to a dermatologist however there is absolutely no help in the meantime and a very long waiting list. She has been given hydrocortisone more time that I would like, and she has tried lots of different ointments and creams, currently on hydromol and cetraben. She has had eczema since very small but nothing like it is now, she was diagnosed with a milk allergy at 5 weeks, she also is allergic to scented washing powder so we use surcare that has no fragrance and she seemed better until she started eating, since eating she has reacted to wheat, oats, barley, rye. We have been told to give her soya milk so in terms of yoghurts or in breakfast, snacks etc. We have also been told to avoid all the food she has reacted to and also to avoid egg and fish so she has never been introduced to this, I'm not sure whether I acrually agree or disagree with that but because her skin is so bad I don't think it's worth taking the risk anytime soon. The hydrocortisone cream really doesn't help, it lightens her skin for a few days and the first day the course is stopped her skin is back to square one.i honestly don't know if it could possibly be a soya allergy now or some other allergy but I really don't know what?! Or is it actually eczema that's just extremely hard to treat as nothing is working. Please help if you can. She had this on her back, chest, neck, arms and legs.
