Question :
Hello, I am working in Baroda. My 2 year old daughter is having infranta ( I can't spell it)exima problem. She gets allergy at wrists,elbows, feet and on cheeks. This appears as some kind of rashes and mainly visible during winterseason.While sleeping she scratches over and cries. More over she is having dry skin. When she was months baby we observed that her face become red after her daily bath. We showed to many chaild specialists, both alopathy and Homeapathy. Everyone tells this is due to some soaps, oils, etc. We used different medicines also.But there is no much change. I observed when ever we go to hyderad her skin looks very bright as compared to staying in Baroda. Other than this problem she is very actve and healthy. Can you please explain why it is so? and how long she has to suffer with this problem.
Answer
Your child seems to have atopic dermatitis, an allergic skin disorder characterised by rash over the elbows, knees, back of neck, buttocks, cheeks etc and excessive itching. This allergy could be due to a variety of causes and it is very difficult to pinpoint the factor. The treatment consists of avoiding the precipitating factor which includes avoiding preservatives and colouring in foods (try as far as possible to give natural food), creams and lotions, soaps (glycerine soap is the best option) and even powders containing some artificial material. If the eczema persists, antihistamininic syrups need to be given and maybe even steroid creams may be required in severe cases. This needs to be done under the guidance of a doctor. This eczema may be a chronic problem and may wax and wane over a period of time. There is also a chance of other allergic problems such as asthma and allergic cold later in life. Hence proper management is most important.
