Excemea is usually caused by an allergy.My little girl had small spots on her

belly and legs when she was nursing. I cut out milk and they went away. But,

in the meantime, Calendula lotion really helps the spots to heal. Weleda

makes a nice calendula lotion. Or, use whatever kind you find.

Eczema certainly can follow vaccines as vaccine damage - don't know if that

is your situation.

Sometimes it is a fatty acid metabolism difficulty - here is from another

list I am on and it sounds reasonable (and especially if the child is

vaccinated, making them more at risk to develop it).

Possibly:

these kids are born with some fatty acid metabolism

abnormalities. Specifically the primary problem seems

that they lack the enzyme necissary to convert linoleic

acid to gamma linoleic acid(GLA). In the body fatty

acids are used to make prostaglandins. These, among

other things, influence inflammatory response. Some

fatty acids form prostaglandins that enhance

inflammation while others form those that suppress

inflammation. In a healthy balance, they keep each

other in check, whereas if you are lacking one, the

other is allowed to exert more influence. GLA is one

that has anti-inflammatory properties so when you are

deficient, there will be a tendency toward hyper-

responsiveness & inflammation. You can search PubMed

for many recent studies where oral GLA supplementation

has been demonstrated to alleviate the symptoms of

eczema: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?

Also allergies - dairy etc - or allergies to what you, if you are

breastfeeding, are eating.

If none of the above work, homeopathic treatment with a quality classical

homeopath may be helpful.

I had eczema as a baby and grew out of it at some point. Or, as I've

learned in homeopathy, it could have disappeared with the use of steroid

creams (big problems) and worse things started to appear - I had chronic

tonsilitis and finally and tonsils out (not a good idea from my point of

view now. From a homeopathic prespective, once you stop a certain set of

symptoms, often worse symptoms will appear. If you want to know more about

that I have an article on homeopathy http://www.nccn.net/~wwithin/homeo.htm

Sheri,

Thanks for the info I will being checking into it after I send this

letter. My baby has NEVER been near a needle and I do breastfeed, but not

exclusively. I have never, from day one, made enough breast milk to sustain

my baby, so I have always had to supplement and I do so with soy formula. I

don't know if this info help you with any more ideas of how to help his

eczema. My first attempt is going to be changing our laundry detergent.

Thanks for your help. Jill

PS I truly appreciate all the info you post here, whether it be OT or

not!!!!!!!

My name is Bari and wanted to reply to this excerpt on excema and " lactose

from milk not coming through in breastmilk " ... to be clear, if a baby is

allergic to cow's milk, it is the cow's milk PROTEIN that the baby is

allergic to... and if the baby is " lactose intolerant " then it is the

lactose that the baby can't handle well. However, the cow's milk PROTEIN

does indeed come through the breastmilk-- and so do ALL the hormones from

the cows given RGBH... and it can be very distressing to a baby who is

allergic. My son is allergic to dairy and I have given up dairy so that I

can continue to breastfeed. Of course, the baby is NOT allegic to your

mother's milk... it is the cow's milk. Indeed, the allergy can produce

really bad excema (like my son had)... I found the book SUPERIMMUNITIES for

KIDS by Leo Galland to be an excellent source of information. I hope this

is helpful. You might also want to contact La Leche league.

Soy could be the culprit too.

Also laundry detergent - so many things.

Do you know that 50% of babies who have a dairy allergery also have a soy

allergy?? You're baby could have a soy allergy. How old is the baby now...I

know it was in your original post, but can't recall. I'm assuming you have

tried to up your supply different ways? if not, maybe you could try it and

try to get off soy a few days to see what happens?

[Guest guest]

It is usually a lack of essential fatty acids or the adrenals aren't

producing enough corticosteroids. Try an anti inflammatory herb like yucca.

Just make a poultice and place it over the adrenal area or add a little bit

of it on your finger and place it in his mouth but just a tiny amount.

Adding some flax seed oil would help with the EFA's

The only dairy/milk product that my daughter seemed to be affected by when I

Try that first adn see what happens.

Can you supply more information on making a poultice? I breastfeed my

child. If I include flaxseed oil in my diet, will that help her?

Do you pump? Making sure that you stimulate your breast (through pumping or

feeding ) every two hours helps your milk supply. Also have you trying

taking fenugreek or blessed thistle? At one point, my milk supply started

to dwindle. I took fenugreek and pumped more often and it came up.

Hi, everyone thank for the advice. Here are the answers to the questions

asked. My baby is six months old but has had the eczema for a long time. As

for my milk supply. I have work with a lactation consultant RN who would

rather die than give a baby formula and we could not get my supply up. She

did put me on Fenugreek and that does work for me. What is blessed thistle?

And what form does it come it? i.e. pill, liquid. If my baby is allergenic

to the other formulas what else would I give him?

Thanks again everyone. I just love this site -- great for a first time

, send me if info you have. I would really appreciate it.

Have you tried Breastmilk on the skin? I have heard that it helps with

Well, I myself have not tried blessed thistle. I just used the fenugreek.

Someone in one of these e-mail groups mentioned it when someone else asked a

breastfeeding question. Might be a good thing to research.

Mother's Milk tea (Traditional Medicinals) is made with blessed thistle (as well

as fenugreek and fennel).

I saw Blessed Thistle mentioned a few times here and wanted to note that it

is on the contraindicated list for use during pregnancy. I am not sure why.

Just wanted to throw that in for anyone who was looking to use it. You might

want to check it out first.

Also, I found a homeopathic remedy creme for exzema, B & T brand I believe,

called Florisone. I would be wary of using it on very young children (the

" expert " working that aisle said it was fine) but it worked wonders for my

daughter. People were saying she looked like a burn victim, with the skin

across her belly and the insides of her arms, cracked, peeling, oozing and

bleeding. Each time it would start to heal, she would move and it would

split and start over again.

In my searches, I found that cortizone and steroid cremes can actually make

it worse, clearing up the current rash but as soon as you stop using it, it

comes back as a worse case. Basically, it clears up the symptoms but leaves

you with the illness. Pretty typical, huh?

For us, we discovered that it was most likely a food allergy to eggs and

after about a year/year 1/2, she was completely healed and can again eat

eggs with no problem. During that time, if she ate anything with eggs in it,

she had a flare up.

We used tea tree ointment to help with any infection (which I am pretty sure

she had, as bad as it looked) and then used the florisone cream. I hated to

use it but it was much better than the alternatives and as long as I was

dilegent iin applying it for the recomended 3 times a day, it would clear

her up almost overnight.

Also, using only 100% cotton clothes makes a major difference for both of my

older crackle skin kids and double rinsing helps too. I switched from the

sensitive skin formula detergents to a brand from the health food store with

amazing results.

One last thing, I read recently that you should NEVER use lanolin on exzema.

I admit, I use it on my son from time to time (the tube kind that nursing

women use for cracked nipples). I have never noticed a problem, other that

him smelling like a barn afterwards , but you might want to do a search

for more info.

Good luck! Exzema sucks.

Lashannna:

My " baby " is 27 months old. BUt I gave up dairy starting when he was only 8

months old. What an amazing difference! He has the most beautiful skin--

and the milk proteins do indeed come through the breastmilk. They are

" broken down " but still can cause an allergic reaction. You must give it up

for 2 weeks to see if it helps as it takes that long to fully clear your

system. Milk is in A LOT of things. It is also known by other names:

Whey, Casein, Sodium Caseinate. I " cut out " the milk, but still had

products with whey it in (okay, I will admit it they were OREOS...) and

(of course) reacted, but as soon as I got rid of the OREOS, was

a lot better and I lost LOTS of weight! Cascadian Farms makes a GREAT

sorbet and be careful about the EDY's brand of Sorbet because it is made of

machines that also do dairy and it can be " contaminated " with dairy. You

could email me separately if you want about this, I know it is off the

vaccine topic, but the issue of dairy allergies is so near to my heart that

if I could give you any information, I hope the others in the group will

understand... this DEFINATELY worked for me. GOod luck. IT is kind of hard

at first to learn to read labels, but the difference in the excema will make

it all worth it.

Love,

Bari

Flaxseed oil is GREAT. I give 1 Tbsp. a day. I call it " special

sauce " and he LOVES it. I don't like the taste and take it in capsule

form... I think that it will definately help the skin. I don't know how old

your baby is and if you are giving solids yet... you could mix the flaxseed

oil with cereal,b ut then you wouldn't know how much of it the baby eats if

the child doesn't finish the cereal.

I have used organic CALENDULA cream for some bad excema patches. We were

really lucky, I guess, when I gave up dairy and changed our eating habits to

more healthy (organic) foods, the excema has really gone away EXCEPT when

is teething or haas eaten something that he is allergic to... thought

you might like the information on the CAlendula cream-- it worked for us...
