Baby Eczema :(



Matthew has an eczema rash on his arms, back, tummy and legs.  It was worst on his left arm in this picture taken December 28th, but as of today (January 26th), his arm looks better and his back looks to be the worst.  We've seen Dr. Dramov, our naturopath once already and he recommended cutting out dairy (again) for me, and continuing to use the California Baby lotion that I had been putting on it.  Dramov's opinion is that it is eczema with a little yeast in it, and the lotion contains some anti-yeast ingredients, so maybe that is helping.  I'm also not great at remembering to put it on every day.  Maybe if I was better at that, it would be gone by now.  We're also supposed to be taking a probiotic every day (Matthew and me), but I haven't been very good about that one either.  :( 
We see Dr. Dramov Monday for a recheck and we'll see what he says then.  We also see Dr. Pritchard, who is Matthew's very cool and pro-integrative medicine pediatrician, for his nine-month wellchild visit.  Maybe she will also have some ideas.
