Is it possible to have excema from...
| Mon, 02-23-2004 - 1:38am |
My dd is 9 months old. She has always had little patches of excema on her legs, but nothing too major. Since she has been eating veggies, it has gotten REALLY bad. It didn't feed her any veggies for 1 week, and it cleared up. On the weekend, I gave her a little bowl of mixed veggies. It had pureed carrotts, peas, water, and a bit of potato. The next morning, she woke with a HUGE excema welt on her cheek. This is the only spot on her body that it gets really red, and huge. Is it an alergic reaction? My doctor prescribed a non cortizone cream, which works quite well, but can she never eat veggies now? Is it possible to get an outbreak from food, or is it something else?
Thanks

Allergies can go away or get worse. Ask your Dr. to send you to a specialist and have some tests ran to see what she is allergic to. Even if your Dr. says they can't do anything for a baby don't agree to that. There are specialist who deal with infant allergies and asthma. My neice is 8 and her astma Dr. said that if they had sent her early on her condition wouldn't be as bad as it is now. They kept treating the eczema but didn't look at the allergies.
Good Luck and make sure you feed her one veg. until you know for sure she won't break out from it.
