Since the winter, DS has had mild exema on his legs. It was very mild over the winter, until we went on vacation to Colorado, where it's very dry. Over that time, it flared up and got very red and scaly - but when we got home the more moist air plus humidifier and thick lotion I was applying had it more under control.
My ped mentioned that berries (strawberries, black berries and rasperries) can contribute to exema flare ups - so we have elimintated them for the past 2 weeks. The exema is getting worse, not better.
Couple of things to note: we use unscented dove soap and unscented Eucerin cream every night for bath. He gets Coppertone baby sunscreen on his arms and legs every day for daycare, and all over his bod on the weekends when we are at the pool. No other diet changes, other than the berries. The weather has been hazy hot and humid. I've not changed laundry detergent.
Any ideas on what food could be contributing to this? Thanks in advance ladies!
