Eczema Treatment Care

Question by J: Eczema related to allergies in one-year-old?
My daughter (Age 1) has been getting these dry, red patches all over her legs (doctor says eczema) since she was about 4 months old. She occasionally has foul-smelling diarrhea which leads to very bad diaper rash. My husband and I suspect an allergy is flaring the eczema since we’ve been working on the elimination diet and when she has things containing wheat/gluten it’s inflamed. Has anyone else dealt with this and does it ever link to a wheat/gluten allergy? Is there any test to confirm a food allergy in children this young?

LATEX DEATHS
THE FDA SAYS ONLY 1% OF LATEX DEATHS ARE REPORTED
Delayed contact dermatitis from chemicals in rubber has been recognized since the 1930s.4 But except for rare early reports, clinicians did not appreciate systemic allergic reactions to latex proteins until 1979, when case reports began to appear in Europe.
Latex allergy erupted in the United States shortly after the Centers for Disease Control introduced universal precautions in 1987. By late 1992, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) received 1133 reports of serious allergic reactions and anaphylaxis occurring to patients and health care staff associated with 30 classes of latex medical devices. There were 15 patient deaths associated with latex barium enema catheters.
The FDA estimated that the reports represented only 1% of actual occurrences
