[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Aside from the meds and the creams, look into the diet. Dairy products react horribly with some kids, because of the hormones from dairy cows. Other kids react to too much salty foods. Try it like an allergy elimination diet. If the kid has allergies, definitely look into this. I wish I had realized it was food related when I was younger.

my child is allergic to rice
he also gets more flares when he eats chocolate and sugar
the dermo recommended a six week course of antibiotics, but I didn't feel comfortable with that.
he takes probiotics 3x a day. when he stays off sugar, most of it goes away
it's not acne, it's something else, but I can't remember the name. He's only 11. it's a reaction to his asthma medication (steroids)
But it's still a bacterial infection'
Every time he's on antibiotics, his skin clears. I can't put him on antibiotics forever!! And antibiotics kill all the good bacteria, so that will cause a lot of other problems
I do not trust acne medications on young children. Dietary changes probably work best, but hard to implement with all the junk food available to kids
my kid eats no dairy, no wheat, has multiple allergies.
skin problems suck. I really fear he's going to have scars, but I can't stop him from scratching his face :cry:

Have you looked into the MotherDirt products? I haven't used them myself but seems like it would make sense to keep the probiotics on the skin as well as taking probiotics for internal use.[/quote]
