Thanks for the replies! There are many things rash wise going on at once. She had a teething rash that got infected. They gave her fucidin H which is antibiotics and hydrocortisone. She also had a rash on her forarms which they said was eczema. It was really bad on her face so I put it on. It was another doctor then ours. Then 2 days later I went back because her chin was peeling like a chemical burn. Stopped it and they prescribed bactroban an antibiotic and hydro seperately, as two creams. What peed me off is that he kept saying he stood by his diagnosis! She started to scratch all the time and it was keeping her up. The pharmacy said it was an allergy and to only put the hydrocortisone. Two days later, my nurse practitioner doc team are back. They say its perioral dermatitis on her face and eczema on her arms. The meds will take 2 months to work and she will regress a few times. Its only for her face. They don't even look at her arms. My research has concluded the same about the treatment taking so long. Its called metrogel. I went back in when she almost scratched her face ALL night and they said there was a yeast infection over the dermatitis. They prescribed cortisone for lower part of face/neck. I am not using it because the cortisone is what this dermatitis rash likes! They should know this, no?
HOWEVER, for the origins she has breakouts when she eats certain foods. We don't know if its coincidental. We think milk, stone fruit, soy pastes like miso and soy sauces, pasta; we thought it was the tomatoes but she reacts with homemade white cheese sauce. I noticed Vikki that you guys hve mustard allergy. We add that to the white sauce. We also have been avoid ing applesauce because of the acidity, must burn her chin. No milk, cheese or yogurt, she was eating alot of yogurt and cheese daily.
Also, one day the tip of her footed pijammas was barely touching her chin and she has a spot exactly there that looks like a chemical burn. I know all her clothes touch her skin but its more sensitive there? And she sleeps on her tummy so I thought that could be the reason for her arms and chin, neck area. I thought maybe SLS allergy as well.
YESTERDAY, I had a melt down because I want to know the cause of ALL this. I bought soap nuts for the laundry, facecloths towels, sheets, everything. And I bought dr. Bronner's soap. We have started a food diary and have removed everything mentioned above. Basically she is having root vegetables, chicken, broccoli, pears, grapes, cheerios, oatmeal and raisins.
We are waiting for a call for allergy testing and are continuing the metrogel.
That was alot eh?
