Toddler and eczema

Any advise would be really helpful Smile

I have a 19 month boy who has suffered with eczema from birth.

At 8 months he had a skin prick test which showed a high allergic reaction to egg and milk and is due a retest next month.

However even after cutting this completely out of his diet as well as other common associated foods such as soya, we find his eczema to be a struggle.

He has been to numerous dermatology appointments and has regular prescription to steroid creams, emollliants and scratch suits however these don’t seem to be helping those pesky areas such as wrists head neck knees and ankles. We have a good air purifier and he has piraton daily.

If anyone has experienced this and has any advise or new ideas we would gladly listen :)

Try the Dr Aron regime. Life changing! Have a look on the website - Dr Aron is no longer prescribing but another doctor (dr wetzler) at the hill medical centre does. Interesting approach - really recommend having a read of the science behind it.

Protopic changed my daughters eczema after two years of trying everything else. There’s a great support group on Facebook - think it’s eczema uk. Smile
