[quote=Anonymous]Thanks all! We’ve done elimination diet but it’s largely external environmental triggers which seems impossible to control- she wears lightweight long sleeves and pants to avoid exposure, and eczema gloves at night to avoid bad scratching. We’ve tried every cream but only cortisone and Vaseline help vs. cause more flare up. At her 2 year pediatric appointment we were referred to an allergist that did help (anti histamine also helps with bad flare ups), and we have another pediatric appointment next week and I wanted some names of dermatologists to discuss as potential referrals. It’s affecting her sleep so much right now- she wakes up scratching and asks us to rub her skin to fall back asleep saying “my skin hurts”- it can take hours to settle her down. This despite all the measures that sort of work (cortisone, Vaseline, anti histamine). We do need to try oatmeal baths! Will do that tonight in meantime. [/quote]
