Severe eczema & Allergies

Hi,

My 13 month old son has had severe eczema since he was 3 months old. His eczema is terribly severe all over his body and has landed us in hospital a few times with infections. He also has severe allergies and intolerance and is therefore currently only feeding on Neocate hyperallergenic formula. I'm looking for advice on a highly specialised dermatologist/allergist who would take on my son. We live in Manchester and previously were under dermatologist Dr Clayton, however he wanted to put my baby onto immune- suppressant drugs which I was not happy with (until I knew it was a very last option), he told us other then immune-suppressants, he cannot help us, and we were therefore dismissed from his clinic and have now been left high and dry! (trust NHS....). I''m looking for recommendations on a specialist dermatologist/allergist who has expertise in severe cases of eczema in the Manchester area (or even elsewhere. At this point we are willing to travel.) I would consider paying privately as well. Thanks in advance:) X Gail

My 20 year old son has always suffered from eczema, some years he was almost free of it others he got bad flare ups.
He has decided to go steroid free after being on it for probably way to long.
It's been about 5 months now & he gets bad outbreaks in different parts of his body at different time's .
He also is conscious about his diet , to much dairy is a trigger.
Has anyone else gone through steroid withdrawal? & if so how long did it take before you saw results & what helped?
Many Thanks
