Question: My grandson (2) has Atopic Eczema. He has huge red blotches on his skin, especially his arms and legs, a little on his tummy and some on his neck. These itch a lot. In the heat he gets clamy and it seems to worsen a bit. Any suggestions about treatment? He lives in Scandinavia. They haven't managed to get this cleared-uo. Could it be an allergy to food or something else? Do you have any suggestions for treatment? (They have been to doctors and homeopaths.) He is normal and active, so this doesn't affect him in that way.
Answer: My friend had the same problem with her son. She took him off of dairy & his skin cleared up in a few weeks.Atopic eczema is usually caused by inhaled or ingested allergins, such as foods, pollen, dust or animal dander. Some experts indicate that intestinal dysbiosis (disruption of the normal bacterial flora of the gut with a disproportionately high concentration of unfriendly bacteria) can promote atopic eczema, as supplementation with probiotics has been shown to improve this condition.
