Itchy Rash - Need Ideas

[gfgypsyqueen]

Hi,

My daughter has the worst rash on her feet and ankles. I know she gets this as a reaction to milk. Who knows maybe it is a reaction to more. We see an allergist soon. Meanwhile, she got a hold of yogurt and is now having a reaction. She gets a terrible itchy, red, blistered rash on her feet and ankles. I assume this is eczema. The cortizone cream doesn't help much and she hates when I put it on her. She acts like the cream hurts. She will scratch it until it bleeds. I can't get her to stop scratching and she looks like she is about to cry while scratching. Socks, shoes, and pants do not help. She just takes them off to scratch. The itching and scratching wake her up from sleep.

Any ideas on what to do to make the itching stop???

Try putting her in a lukewarm bath with some epsom salt in it. My dd asks for that when she is itchy, itchy. The cream is burning because of all the scratching that she's doing Another thing that may help is give her some relief is benadryl.
