My youngest, I recently learned is going through some issues similar to his sister. During the summertime, Ol develops a rash on the back of his thigh. At first, I thought the rash was due to the hot weather. The build-up of sweat. Unfortunately, in September, the rash had gotten worse. The weather was getting cooler, but the skin was not getting better. I suddenly realize he is developing food sensitivity like Char. Ol is a picky eater, who only seems to love milk and eggs.
Doctor Visit
My little one is a little more hard to reason with. I have my concerns. I address my worries to the Doctor. She said the skin had worsened due to the clothing that comes in contact with his skin. Fleece material is irritating to the skin. Dries out the skin. Those with eczema should only wear loose cotton nothing synthetic. Man-made materials do not allow the skin to breathe. And it irritates the skin.
Eliminate Stage
The first set of instructions from the Doctor is what I expected. The elimination stage. What I need to do is to eliminate dairy, eggs, gluten, and sugar. With dairy, I need to slowly introduce non-dairy milk and reduce the dairy. This allows him to slowly adjust and to eventually remove diary out of his system. Also, the naturopathic Doctor recommends watercress Chinese soup to help with his condition.
