ok so i have read the advise given and believe that i should have given a bit more info on her and her diet

she is not breast fed she is bottle fed formula has not changed has been on s26 since birth

started her on soilds at about 3 months as she wanted i know its hard to say that she wanted soilds but she did as most of you may know a child even an infant or baby knows what they want even if we dont

ok with soild there was alot of trial and error

started of with the jar/tinned foods didnt like them

she has fresh veggies has nothing added to them

i first thought that she may have had hives as i do to certin meds and soaps but is nothing like that

i have had her normal doctor say that it was milk spots but there is no way that it is milk spots because it always appears worse when she is hot i have had to keep the air con going even on slightly warm days just so she doesnt itch and start rubbing and making it worse

i have had another doctor say that he had no idea what it was- that it was just a rash

i know its excema but not sure what has made it worse nothing has changed in her diet or any other products just the washing powder

There are many great laundry powders for senstive skins. I myself use aware for sensitive skin. It is for front loaders as well as top loaders.

I have Atopic ezcema as well with my baby. He reacts to banana and some fomulas, I've used many different treatments but I have found derma veen products toi be the best. when used with each other and not with any other treatment except prescription creams it works great. i used the bath or shower wash which doubles as a shampoo/conditioner, the ezcema ointment, use after bathing (it's thick and acts as barrier as well as moisturizer) and I use the ezcema cream which helps kill any allergens that enter the dry skin and moisterizers. My 2 middle children both suffer with ezcema as well, my daughter also has asthma and anaphylaxia.

We had the same issue and it was the ice coffee I was drinking while breast feeding. But also was the nappy creams. We were also giving excema creams which he is allergic to as well. So after lots of trial and error and bad dr's we had to change laudry detergent, use only vasoline for nappy rashes soap free bath oil & baby wipes and ego suntain lotion (the new one to the list) hes also intollerent to eggs and kiwi fruit and dairy. But he didn't really start to show the rashes until he was 4 months, before that we were told he had reflux, colic and even teething...

But only change one item at a time for 3 days, if nothing has changed by then then its probably not that. then try taking out another thing. Its frustrating but when you work out which item it is and baby feels better its worth it !!

Hi, sometimes excema can be cause by food allergies or food intolerances. I would suggest trying to keep a food journal and see if you can find any triggars to the outbreaks of excema.

You could also take out the top food allergens form her diet and see if it gets better. Common food allergies would be milk, wheat, dairy, corn, soy, nuts. (I know she probably isn't eating too many of those at 4 months old but you did not state if you were breastfeeding or not.)

Yes, laundry det. can set off excema as well.

You just sometimes have to fiddle around with things and see if you can find those triggars.
