kvogt 1 Posted December 28, 2004 Report This Post (To report rule violations to admin) Share Posted December 28, 2004 I don't recall whether dairy is in or out for you, but it causes me skin problems; soy too. It can be days and days later. The little bit of milk in a milk chocolate covered sweet is enough to flare up my eczema. I've had eczema hot spots like you described.
