I have a 6 month old little boy that has eczema. I have gone from doctor to doctor and no one can help me. We have been going through this since he has been about 4 months old. I can't believe there is nothing that can be done. They tell me it is uncurable and I can't accept that.In most cases, baby and child eczema is caused by food sensitivities. The most common food sensitivity is dairy, including all cow's milk products, and their constituents, like lactose and whey. These products are in most baby's milk formulas. Babies and children who are sensitive to cow's milk products are often also allergic to soy products. Some baby's tolerate goat's milk well. Almost all tolerate rice milk. Most Moms find a cure by substituting their infant formula with a rice milk product made with organically grown rice and no additive sugars or flavouring. You should notice an improvement in about a week.
It is on his face. It looks like a sunburn at times with blisters. After it tries to heal, it gets very scabby itchy and it bleeds. All they tell me is to put the Eucerin cream and it will keep it moist. I need more than that. If I could find something for the itch to help him, that would be great. He sleeps at night and gets up every 1-1/2 hours.
I also have a question. What is extra virgin olive oil used for? Can I use that?
His diet is Enfamil milk with oatmeal rice cereal in his bottle, and maybe an ounce of water a day. I don't have animals. This doesn't run in either family. The doctors tell me to give him Benadryl for the itch, but it makes him look as if he is drugged so I had to stop that.
