Infant Suffering From Eczema, Dry Round Spots At The Sides, Dairy Intolerant. Did Giving Him Cheese Cause This?
My 12 month old baby had a bout of eczema . But with moisturizing an avoiding dairy it went off. But few months after now, he has 2 symmetrical dry round spots at the side of his body. But one side has a mole(dot.) in it. I m worried. I tried giving him cheese 3 days in a row small portions increasing and on 5th day this spots emerged. Don t know if that is related. Should I bring my baby and get it checked out? What could it be? Dry skin eczema but the black dot/mole?
