S., you're fighting a losing battle until you get at the source. Could be a reaction to anything you have used on his body as well as something he has been given to eat. You keep changing things in the middle of a reaction and his body can't adjust that fast. Remember when you started baby foods and were supposed to add only one thing at a time? There's a reason. Absorption and reaction time for your systems to adjust to new things. Our skin is the largest organ in our body and it absorbs everything - good and bad. Steroid creams for babies are dangerous - doctors DON'T know what else to do even with all their training and knowledge of chemistry and anatomy. Steroids do more harm than they do good, especially for the long term, except in very rare situations and doctors dispense them like lollipops. There is one lotion that seems to work for any kind of skin reactions, rash, allergy, psoriasis, or eczema, so I would suggest you contact one of the ladies on this board, like me, that can refer you to the company to order it wholesale.
If you bought the “new” detergent at the grocery store, no matter what the label says, you probably are adding more and different toxins to his already inflamed skin. He’s in his clothes all day, sleeps on sheets and pillowcases all night and bathes and dries in the bath with them, not to mention his shampoo and soap and I could go on and on – think about it! Shouldn’t you use something non-toxic for that? I even wash my Dad’s bedding and clothes from the nursing home and they are disinfected and clean and smell good from a non-toxic detergent.
Additionally, signs of yeast in a baby (or anyone) can be determined by a whitish tongue – if his tongue is clear pink, the doctor’s probably right, but if it’s whitish, you do have a yeast problem. By the time it shows on the skin, it’s throughout the body, so you have to deal with it digestively. A product containing an antifungal cream can rid the skin of yeast symptoms until the digestive tract is fixed. Load him up with probiotics, internally – good flora (bacteria) that our body needs to digest our food. You need to stay on a regimen to rid his body for a while, probably months – takes about as long to rid as it did to develop.
I keep all these products in my home and medicine cabinet and never have to worry about anything that comes up – accident, swallowing chemicals, first aid, disinfecting, etc. There’s something for every problem that comes up and everything for daily use in our home, bath, laundry, and personal care – multi-use products that can save money and your family’s health.
Look at the dangers of vaccinations also. If the rash showed up after a shot, there could be a connection. They are very dangerous and not something you should just accept from a doctor’s schedule. And my advice, never have allergy tests! No need and such torture. You can do elimination tests yourself without harming your child at all.
I hope you and your doctor get a handle on this because it’s your baby’s health. I know my mother trusted doctors for years for my sister’s serious condition and later she figured out they did the opposite of what she needed, messed up her body in so many ways, and scared her about her adult health, when it could have been fixed so simply and early that her teen years would have been less traumatic. Doctors are not gods and they are less educated now than I think they were in the old days. They rely too much on pharmaceutical salespeople and technology so they have been dumbed down in their thinking and logic. You can disagree with me, but that is my personal opinion borne out by many years of experience with many illnesses and families. Get in touch if you are interested in more.
