Allergy Doctor

We had Brennan's appointment with the allergy doctor yesterday. He does have eczema, and she believes that he is having these bad flare ups due to some sort of allergy. Starting as of last night this is our new daily routine. Every morning and evening spritz the problem areas with water and then rub prescription derma oil onto his skin. Keep his body slathered with Eucerin cream as much as we possibly can. We have to switch him from Clariton to Zyrtec, 1/4 tsp in the morning and at night. Change his soap and shampoo to only Dove sensitive skin. Use free and clear detergents only and NO fabric softners. He goes back in one month for allergy testing. One thing that did stand out to her was the fact that we first noticed the rash on the day of his birthday party. We thought that it was from being out in the grass, but she seems to think that he could have an egg allergy. Egg allergies are pretty common in younger kids. She said that most of the time the first symptoms are noticeable at their first birthday because they dive into their cakes, which of course contain eggs. Some kids even end up going into anaphylactic shock and are taken to the emergency room to find out that their 1st birthday cake has caused them to have this serious reaction. Thank goodness Brennan's case is not this dangerous though. We'll find out in a month if this is even the case and if it is then we'll go from there. There are so many things that contain eggs, but we'll deal with it, and more than likely he'll grow out of it in a few years.
