My 2.5 year old dtr has been dealing with eczema on her leg for months, and she also has spots on her arms, torso, and back.
Poor thing, the one spot on her upper leg is an open sore. I have used california baby lotion, candendula, etc... Nothing helps. It hurts her so bad. I have taken several pictures of her body to show these allerigists, professionals, and they feel bad about how bad her eczema can become, but no one can help me fix it.
I have done some allergy testing, scratch IgE testing, MSA, and autonomic response testing (ART). ART uses accupressure points and corroborated the findings from the MSA test, which were issues with wheat, gluten, and dairy. Soy came up with the ART.
The scratch test showed NOTHING! All was negative. What a bunch of whoey!
SOOOOO, my dtr has not been eating most of these things since she was a year old, and since the ART findings last month, we have cut out soy. SHE STILL HAS ECZEMA! It has been unchanged. What in the world is going on. My family practice doctor mentioned something about too much staph bacteria build-up on the skin. I don't know what that means.
The one thing that did come up on the ART was mold. Could mold cause rashes? What if the eczema isn't food related. How can I find out what it is if it's not food related? We have spent thousands of dollars to try and find answers. We also have an almost 10 month old with very similar issues. She barely eats any solids because she becomes so affected by the foods I EAT that I'm nervous for her to eat on her own. I have cut out all the foods mentioned above as well.
Thank you.
UPDATE*****
I wanted to update that my dtr is finally in the clear! Thank God. We did P-N testing and was SO informative. She came up positive for corn, rice, and yeast, in addition to wheat, gluten, soy, and cow milk.
She was negative in several others, which included eggs and nightshades. Whew!
Once we eliminated all the trigger foods and moved to 100% organic fruits and veggies, she is 100% clear. She went from almost not sleeping for one year due to the itching/bleeding and crying to a healthy body. Just short of a miracle!
Wanted to update with good news!

DS's eczema turned out to be from wheat.
