Help for a little boy!!
Hi there, I'm new here, but the site looks a great source of support for all kinds of problems!
Just wanting some advice please. My little boy (21 months) has, what I believe to be an allergy to cows milk-comes out in nettle rash type rash all over his face when he comes into contact with anything with milk in it (even cooked now) if anything I would say he's getting more sensitive to it, he used to be able to tolerate cooked milk products. We've had the skin prick test for milk protein and both the allergen and control tests raised up which they told me showed he has super sensitive skin! Anyway, he also suffers from eczema, which, again, is getting worse and worse. I just keep getting stronger and stronger steroid crms prescribed for him but they just don't seem to have an effect on his eczema whatsoever. We are convinced it's something he's eating that's making it so bad and never clear up but the GP's won't entertain referring him for further testing. Basically what I'm after here is any help or advice on what i can do for him, it's horrible seeing him scratch his skin off at every given opportunity not to mention having allergic reactions left right and centre. HELP!!
Thanks

That sounds awful.
We're in a similar situation with nuts but when the NHS skin test gave odd results they were considered inconclusive and blood tests were carried out.
We keep the eczema at bay by using "Halos 'n' Horns" bath products, Persil non-bio washing capsules and Comfort fabric softener. That combination took some trial and error. We had to replace our washing machine with one that rinsed really well too.
We're also prescribed Diprobase and Doublebase products and do occasionally use Johnson's Baby Oil.
I hope our experiences help you even if just a little bit.

Hi!
I'm posting because I'd just like to let you know that my brother-in-law has completely gotten rid of his allergies (peanut, cucumber, apple) and asthma through a natural product he's been taking for some 8 months now (as have I for a little longer for my psoriasis, which is practically gone now). If you´ll interested, mail me and we can talk some more, because there's a lot of info to digest.

Have you stopped him on milk? Is soy milk good for him?
