[quote=Anonymous]My first had terrible eczema as an infant. First, for most babies it's not food-allergy related. I can't remember the stats - only 30 percent go on to have a food allergy? Second, my ped told me and I read that the earlier they get it the more likely it is they will completely outgrow it. That has been the case for my son, who is now 5 and has outgrown it. It took until he was about 3 though. Third, our treatment protocol. I tried everything. We used ceravae that comes in the giant tub. Not the lotion, but the cream. Also prescription steroids on the flare ups and once they are under control, moisturize like hell to prevent outbreaks. But you have to use the steroid cream to get it under control initially. I remember being very reluctant to use the steroid cream. But it's fine as long as you aren't using it continuously. Good luck.[/quote]
