2 Month Old Having Rashes Around The Mouth And Pigmentation Problems. Allergic To Milk Based Formulas. On Cetaphil And Restoraderm. Yeast Infection?

I have a 2 month old african american baby boy who was a rash around his mouth and loss of color pigmentation. We discovered he is allergic to milk based formulas and is on soy formula, but the rash has not gone away. My pediatrician thinks its from his binky, but he is now binky free and it is still there. I use aquaphor several times a day and also a cetaphil restoreaderm lotion twice a day. Could this be a yeast infection or something else?

many children who are allergic to milk are allergic to soya
so before deciding get clood serum tests for specific antibiotics for milk and soya
we addvice beast milk only upto 2 years you havenot written about brest feed
if you are breast feeding atop all milk and diary consumed by you
if you are not then you cn decide after blood tests
only prevention avoidance is treatment in this age
