I hate allergies!

[Anonymous]

So, we finally got DS settled with all of his MSPI,reflux, and swallowing issues, now my DD is starting to show allergic tendencies. She is 2, (never any issues in the past) and over the past couple weeks has developed an eczema type rash just on her thighs, behind her knees and hips. Last night while eating some chicken with ranch dressing, she broke out in hives and blisters on her lips and cheek-right where the ranch dressing had touched her face. I took away egg from her diet about a week ago (because it started shortly after breakfast one day)and have seen a small improvement in the rash along with hydrocortisone cream. The ranch dressing did have egg yolk in it(wasn’t thinking-bad mom), but prior to these past 2 weeks she had eggs every sunday without any problems. Any thoughts?

It sounds like a classic egg allergy. She is old enough that I would look into doing a skin prick test, maybe just on egg and see what happens. The problem with egg allergies is that unless you cut it out completely what could be outgrown may become life long. Good Luck. We have been totally egg free in our house since August when we got our diagnosis. Prior to that I just didn’t let Cooper have eggs, now it is just easier to keep them and items with them totally out of the house.

Egg free for 2 weeks now and no more rash! I can even see an improvement in her behavior. She is much less whiny and is sleeping better. We have an appt next week with her ped and hopefully allergy testing if they can get us in. Wish us luck!
