Hello everyone. My 22 month old has been fighting a severe looking
skin problem for almost a year now. We have been to the dermatologist
several times and his regular peditrician. They don’t know exactly
what it is. It might be eczema or some othe rkind of allergic reaction
to milk. He was on formula and whole milk together with no problems.
He has very large red circular patches on each cheek and a little on
his chin. It looks red and flaky at times. The doctor said it actually
is like little blisters when seen under a microscope. It responded at
first to Dermatop steriod cream but only for 2 weeks, then it was just
as bad as it had been. I read somewhere that skin issues in kids can
come from a digestive enzyme deficiency. So what is eaten isn’t
digested right and it shows up on the skin. Can anyone give me any
advice or guidance? We have tried everything over the counter we can

think of but I would love to have your advice. Thanks so much and
Happy New Year.
Angela
