How I Cured my Baby's Eczema
Update: Following an Elimination Diet, I was able to identify the food trigger that was causing a (non-eczema) rash for my baby, and then move on to identify the environmental trigger that was causing the eczema. My son is now two years old and no longer has any eczema. My second born started developing small patches of eczema when he was around 6 or 7 weeks old.
