Question by canned.ice69: Just found out my 21 month old son is allergic?
My 21 month old son has been suffering with eczema for a while now in his nappy and gets spots by his mouth as well so the doctor made him get blood tests done to check for allergy’s and he’s allergic to dairy, wheet and egg white. Dairy and wheet are a big part of his diet and now I have no idea what to feed him. We gonna speak to the doctor tomorrow. But any suggestions?

Answer by Michael
There are special allergen-free diets and formula. Also, children usually grow out of food allergies by around 3 or 4.

How long can it take a rash due to allergic reactions to cats to heal?

Question by Tommy: How long can it take a rash due to allergic reactions to cats to heal?
My kid’s doctor refuses to run allergy tests. He broke out in a blistery rash that looks like poison ivy, and it lasted a month. We suspected he might be allergic to cats, and was exposed about 12 hours before breaking out, and was around them for 5 days and then once we came home it took a month for him to totally heal despite being on prednisone. Can it take up to a month for a child with eczema to heal from an allergic skin reaction to animals?

firstly, sounds like you maybe need to find a new doctor. Sorry to hear that he was alkalizeednisone. My daughter used to suffer from eczema and took cayenne pepper capsules and she got over it. CP is an alsolizer. You may want to look into Woof Creek Ranch. They sell only herbal remedies for many things. Their products are human grade meaning human can and do take the products. I have recently been using one of the products for a dog to get rid of colitis. You can email them and ask a question as they are happy to guide you to what would work.

Question by Poppy I LOVE YOU MJ RIP <3: whats causing my allergic reaction? stress or diet? eczema, spots, itching…its getting worse!?
okay i don’t know what it is but its getting worse. it started about a month or two ago,
it started off with eczema, but now ive got spots on my face and the eczema is getting worse

okay i do realize it COULD be because of my stress – ive been under immense pressure due to exams (gcses) , but ive calmed down as they are over, it was really bad because ive never been under that much pressure in my live. but why am i still getting itching and spots and stuff?

but i was wondering -
could it be my diet? i have kind of started eating new things, but they re all healthy changes.

heres what i have on an average day:
breakfast – bio pot yogurt with chopped banana
lunch – sandwich (Philadelphia and lettuce)
dinner – whatever my mum makes (never been a problem)
i do have about 2 cups of herbal tea.

okay, now i want to know whether its my eating or my stress?
please help me!

It is most likely from your stress..
I have eczema too, and I use a cream for it called: triamcinolone 0.1% cream, it’s generic for Kenalog 0.1% cream. Anyway its a prescription from my doctor.. Another thing that helps is benedryl..It makes you drowsy but also helps with the itchyness…
Get some of the cream for it and try to apply it before you scratch it into a sore..
avoid scratching your eczema if you can.
good luck!

Do eczema flareups still occur even when not in contact with the thing you’re allergic to?

Alan — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 09:56:09 +0000

Question by michellegoesrawr@ymail.com: Do eczema flareups still occur even when not in contact with the thing you’re allergic to?
So recently I found out that I may be allergic to chicken & eggs. It’s not certain as I have not gone to the allergist to find out but every time I eat chicken it gets REALLY bad. I still have dry, cracking skin on my arms, legs, back and neck. But since I stopped eating chicken it’s not really inflamed or that bad. Is it just because I don’t moisturize? o.o Or am I missing something?

Best answer:

Answer by carolethecatlover
Yes. It takes up to 48 hours for the chicken to go thru your intestines. Then, the components of the chicken go into your blood. Until used up by the body. But, if you are allergic, your body had produced anti-bodies, which hang around and jump on, that is, cause inflammation, on every chicken associated molecule in your body/blood. The next time you eat chicken, the army of anti-bodies recognizes it instantly and goes to war, so you get more of reaction much faster. Does that make sense?
I would go to an allergist, immunologist, NOT a dermatologist. They think too topically. Don’t touch a chicken or an egg for a couple of weeks before the appointment.

Can you have an allergic reaction to poison ivy even if you didn’t touch it?

Alan — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 10:48:58 +0000

I was told I had Rhus Derm, but everything I’ve read says it’s a contact dermatitis. I have not come in direct contact with poison ivy. Was I misdiagnosed?
