Currently working with him to figure this out because applying 4 different prescription ointments to him 5 times a day isn't sustainable.
I can't sit around and not try other ways to help in the meantime, so I'm speculating a possible allergic reaction to something I'm eating that's passing through my milk, so going to start an elimination diet while I await our next appointment. Which I'm also bummed out about, because I already can't eat gluten, so my go-to food I'm going to cut out is milk... and I love dairy. How can you not??? Cheese? The best thing ever. I wake in the night starving from feeding this little guy and go to the kitchen to throw back a glass of delicious whole milk. Cream cheese on gf sourdough with my eggs every morning. Aged cheddar while I relax with the fam every night. Grass fed butter on everything. Truly this is a tragedy. Okay I'm done being dramatic.
To be honest, I never even really knew what eczema was before this. I thought it was just when your skin is itchy, but its inflamed and itchy wounds?? wow.
