my son's face is always red and bumpy on the cheeks and is worse at certain times. he doesn't have dairy but it does seem to worsen if he does by accident, but he has it even without dairy. anyone else's child have this? we've seen an allergist who was no help and dismissed it. we pile on aquaphore all day...that helps sometimes and sometimes not. it is driving me crazy! who should i see about this? could it be bed sheet detergent? wool sweaters? wheat? eggs? help!

You may want to consult a dermatologist. It could be a number of things ie: Rosacea. You may even want to consider consulting another allergist since your current one dismissed your son's symptoms.
