Abidec is a very good multivatimin, I doubt if changing it will make any difference. Something else is making him refuse food.

Please mothers I need your help as regards my baby's skin!I noticed she had some red rash on her face when she was 1 month and 2 weeks,took her to the hospital and the pediatrician gave hydrocortisone cream which bleached her face...I have used all sort of things which includes Agbo,e-45,aveeno,cussons,dove,chicco baby,skinneal,acneaway,tiocosid,oilatum,cod oil,kernel oil,coconut oil,shea butter,to mention a few.

She's 8 months old and still hasnt improved and it itches her real bad,she doesn't sleep well at night.
Each time I use skinneal mixes with skinneal,it works but when I stop after the prescribed dosage it comes back awful.I don't want to use it for long cos it's steroidal.

Please I need help as the infection has scrapped all her hair and she was so hairy when I had her.

Thanks and awaiting your responses

@chikkyberry,i must confess av seen 3 different GPs,2 diff dermatologist...all they keep saying is it's atopic dermatitis (infant eczema).yoruba's call it ela

N that the only thing that can work for it is the hydrocortisone cream.infact I was referred for a food allergy test( could be reacting to some food shes sucking from me)I found out she tested positive to egg n wheat after getting the result this week which I have removed the two from my diet.

the infection isn't from her skin( as confirmed with your agbo and cream report) but from her blood and that's definitely due to 2 factors: what she got from you while you carried her in your woman (2) what she gets through breast milk from you. Have a doc do a broad test on her and continue with the allergy test to get all her allergies

weakness might be due to the antibiotics he qas given for the cold treatment or he wasn't given any drug?

@jam04,thanks for ur thots...I thot so too and that prompted me to go for an allergy test(food),which i know already.

Then i understand environmental factors can cause it too so I'm wondering if mothers can refer me to a good washing soap for her clothes(av used ariel,B29,lux,premier)
An for her hair that has fallen and isn't growing back,is there anything I can do too?

Thanks

@Olaiswealth. I can really imaging what u are going tru concerning ur dd's situation. Frm ur post I can see that u hv DONE a lot. I think its high time you sought devine intervention. If u ar a christian plead the Blood of Jesus to wash ur dd skin clean and that he should also sanctify her blood as sm one said its in her blood.
Oh God our help in ages past and our hope for yrs to come, we come before ur throne of mercy and ask that you will make Olaiswealth's daughter skin whole. Wash her with the precious blood of jesus and give her a new health, a new skin and a new hair; these we ask with thanksgiving tru Jesus christ our lord. Amen.

yes you are right about the environmental factors but I'm suspecting atopic eczema since she got it through food allergies. His skin is dry most of the time and once he comes in contact with his allergies, his immune sytems responds to the allergies and the red patches appear. Don't be surprised, his skin is also reacting to some of the chemicals in the cream and solutions you are applying on his skin to treat the eczema. To start with, stop applying those anti-fugal creams you are applying on his skin and start using creams suitable for his skin condition. Also stop using the detergents you are using for his clothes. I will recommend some creams,lotion and soap you will use for him. Its an expanded list, so let me know if you can't find any in your area/locality. One of the most important elements in managing atopic eczema is to keep the skin soft and supple by frequent and generous use of non-cosmetic moisturisers. For his bath use either one of these: Doublebase,Eczemol,ultrabase,aquabar (if you stay in abeokuta, ultrabase and eczemol is available at precious pharmacy in Oke-ilewo and also at idera pharmacy at oni-koko)

For ointment for his hair/scalp, use epaderm or hydromol, diprobase( diprobase is also at precious pharmacy)

For cream, use E45, diprobase cream(different from the ointment), hewletts cream(contain peanut oil).

for lotion, use aveeno, vaseline dermacare lotion or oilatum( vaseline dermacare is at barbadox pharmacy).

These will bring significant changes to your baby skin in a matter of days. Avoid perfumes on his skin and also avoid completely the use of detergents to wash his clothes and plates. You can use RAJ soap for his laundry or any good oil based laundry soap
