My ds 21 months has horendous eczema on his face - its really blotchy raspberry red espec round his cheeks and chin - starts like little red dots like a dribble/ sweat rash then they all join to one mass nasty looking rash. He has had it on and off for 5 weeks now and has had 2 course of erythromicin which reduced it for a few days then it came back, been using fucidin (hydrocortozone stuff) (sp?) also and aveeno but not really shifting it. The rest of his body is fine apart from odd dry bit on back of legs increases but nothing major. The doc just keeps saying could be environmental but it has come out the blue.
Now he has always had cows milk on his brekky anyway and up till about 18 months he always had follow on milk for his milk at bedtime, i swapped this fully over at about 17/18 months. Surely a reaction to cows milk would have been sooner - anywy wanting to identify prob so have switched him to soya milk as of yesterday - how long would it be till we saw an improvement if there was to be one?
Sorry long post i was just chuffed when i spotted this topic area and thougt you guys would be the pros!
