krozby has had eczema since he was a little baby.
after starting some creams and steroids his skin has cleared up a lot!!
unfortunately his hands have never gotten better.
he constantly itches them and rubs them on anything he can.
since he just turned 1 it was time to transition him from formula to milk.
we decided before we did that, we should take him to an allergist to see if a milk allergy could be the cause of his eczema.
they did a couple of different tests on his back to see which (if any) caused a reaction
after they put the patches of stuff on his back we had to wait 15 minutes to see the results
well surprisingly he isn't allergic to milk.
he did have a slight reaction to eggs, peanuts, dogs, and cats.
so for now, we will avoid those things.
a lot of times babies grow out of allergies so hopefully it won't be forever!!
we also aren't sure if it's one of these things that is causing the eczema in his hands to be so persistent. the doctor prescribed an antihistamine that we will start and see if it helps his skin itching at all.
so we will cross our fingers and see what happens!!!
(p.s. little man turned 1 two days ago! stay tuned for his 12 month update!)
