symptoms of eczema
Is that a milk protein allergy?
My 4 month old daughter has had eczema on the hands, elbow areas and back on their feet for a few months. We switched her from formula to Enfamil Nutramigen for a month, as advised by her pediatrician. There was no change. It did not worsen or do not get better. We just switched her formula back to Enfamil. Should we have waited longer? She is fine, except for eczema. No other symptoms suggesting an allergy to milk protein. Has anyone had this problem or have any suggestions? Her doctor said that if she had any symtpoms of a milk allergy that it would turn out right away after switching back to her original formula. I am so confused. Help!
Our (now 5.5 months old) daughter was diagnosed with eczema at 4 months also. At the time she was on a milk based formula. Our doctor had us switch to soy for two weeks and then give the regular formula again. Her eczema has not entirely clear, and from what our doctor told us that it will not quite get it better, but it was tons better on soy formula. So when trying based milk she turned bright red all over her face. Our doctor has not described it as a milk protein allergy, but rather as "eczema worse by milk," so we're not really sure if she will be able to have milk as she gets older. We have also cut her down one to two ordinary water baths a week and she gets Aveeno lotion (unscented with colloidal oatmeal) twice a day. When she does get a red stain her doctor OK'd us to put hydrocortisone cream (1%) on it. After she is 6 months old he can prescribe her a steroid creams. Here is a link to the question I asked about eczema who have a lot more tips from other people. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index; _ylt = Al4VgTj3oPCVhhPWeQuK1wPty6IX?
