Formeldahyde allergy

[momto3bboys]

My son is 15 months and he is having some skin issues, I took him to our pediatrician and of course Excema is suspected. Our ped gave us an article that is linking excema to a Formaldehyde allergy. I was wondering if my son is sensitive/allergic to Formaldehyde that comes into contact with his skin , should we be alot more cautious with getting him shots since the vaccinations have Formaldehyde in them? If his outer body has a reaction, all be it a mild reaction , to formaldehyde products what is it doing to his insides ? I selective vacinate, and my Ped is not on board with the delayin and non vacing so i will not ask her because i doubt that i will get a straight answer from her

Anyone have any articles or information on this?

Your son could be allergic or sensitive to just about anything. Excema can be reflective of food allergies or chemical allergies. I wonder why your ped is zeroing in on formaldehyde??

Yes Formaldehyde is in some vaccines, but so are many other chemical compounds, milk proteins, eggs, antibiotics that your baby could be reacting to. It could also have nothing to do with the vaccines. My son has skin issues and is not vaccinated. I believe his problems stem from food allergies/sensitivities
I agree with you about any straight answer you will get with your ped regarding vaccines and allergies.

i really believe dd is allergic to formaldehyde. she first came down with eczema after the hib vax. i really feel it was from the vax because the ecsema started around the injection site and traveled up her trunk and down her legs over a months time. but i did notice, when she started to crawl, if we were at some ones house with newer carpets, she would get eczema bad on her knees. i just have a strong suspicion its from formaldehyde although we've never had an allergy test done.
