We have been back and forth to the doctors over the past two years with our daughters skin and I'm so fed up.
Seen four different doctors who have told us it's eczema, urticaria, diary intolerance and now back to eczema after an awful break out last week.
We have asked for a dermatology referral and been told there are no paeds dermatologist in our area (we even said we would pay). Apparently normal dermatologist won't see a child. So we are just waiting.
She's been off dairy for 5 weeks now and no improvement. We have used the same fairy non bio washing powder etc from birth and only e45 to clean her in the bath. Lashing of various eczema creams 2x daily or more prescribed by the doctors. Anyone has anything like this? Not in normal folds like eczema but legs and tops of shoulders, along with awful cradle cap. She's nearly four.
It doesn't bother her at all but people (mostly her nursery) are making us feel like awful parents

@abbs1
We have seen four different gps at our local surgery..the last one had a page open on eczema when we went in. So she was just pre empting it. Utterly ridiculous and we feel so awful she looks like this and we don't know what do do.
Dairy and oats we have done. Will try eggs now. She didn't have soya before we did dairy free so it's not that

Oh gosh that's awful care. I'm so sorry you're struggling so much to get help. That's really bad. Can you complain to the surgery manager?
Don't be afraid to take her in to hospital though. I'm on another mummies group and some of them it was their only option and now their bubbas eczema is nearly cleared with proper creams and allergy testing after GPs all said no.

If its not eggs, could you try wheat? Sorry just trying to think of all the allergens. My daughter and son have a lot and wheat and oats and dairy are the big ones.

DH took her to doctors today as it got worse and she’s been given an urgent pediatric referral.. didn’t say actually how long that would be and steroid cream. They have finally said it’s not eczema and is obviously some kind of allergy. Which we told them months ago!

Echoing @Ponderingwindow it could be the Fairy. I'm allergic to the fragrances in most laundry detergents and have to use an unfragranced non-bio one. I buy Surcare.

So glad she's finally been referred. Urgent ones from where I live are meant to be seen within 2 weeks so hopefully you hear soon. 🤞
