Question 1

can i use betamethasone dipropionate cream for blisters from latex allergy?

Accepted Answer

: Yes. But not on the face. Medication is too strong for skin.

Question 2

my baby has face eczema. i used desonide for a week but it is back. is aclovate safer or better?

Accepted Answer

Chronic: Eczema is chronic and will recur.  I recommend avoiding harsh soaps which will dry the skin, use aquaphor or vanicream to protect your baby's skin throughout the day and desonide to keep it controlled, preferably no more than 3 times a week.  It gets better over time!  also, eczema makes skin more susceptible to infections so if it persists, see your dr.

Question 3

why is aclovate cream helping my eyebrows?

Accepted Answer

Aclovate: Aclovate is a type of steroid and works to relieve itching and inflammation by reducing inflammation and suppressing an overactive immune system.

Question 4

aclovate cream is not helping my eyebrows. what are alternatives?

Accepted Answer

Depends on the prob: What are you treating?  You really should be using eye meds this close to your eye.  You can try scrubbing them with baby shampoo-but it depends.

Question 5

what do you suggest if my eyebrow come completely out. the dermatologist gave me nizoral (ketoconazole) and aclovate cream but it's not helping at all. any ideas?

Accepted Answer

Use Latisse (bimatoprost): If you mean that you are loosing your eyebrow hair, you have to find out what is causing it. There are many systemic causes. one of these issues are thyroid dz. So you need to have a complete physical and lab work. But if all is OK, then you may use Latisse (bimatoprost) over the eyebrow and that has shown to help eyebrow hair loss.

Question 6

my husband and i accidentally gave our 4 yr old son, who weighs 42lbs, a double dose of childrens benadryl (diphenhydramine) for his allergies (chewable tablets 12.5mg)?

Accepted Answer

??no numbers??: The only way for me to comment on the dose is if you list what you gave. Two 12.5 mg tabs in a 42 lb kid might make him groggy but shouldn't hurt in the long run.Four tabs would put him to sleep and he'd be out for a few hours. Luckily the med clears the body in 4-8 hours.

Question 7

i am having anxiety over food allergies. i am 23 and have 3 children with no food allergies. i am having anxiety over peanuts. is it possible or is it just anxiety? ive never had a problem with peanut butter. my kids eat it a lot?

Accepted Answer

Health Anxiety: Peanut allergies do not typically spontaneously arise in adults or older children, especially if the persons concerned have been eating it regularly without any issues. For Anxiety, try Journaling, Deep breathing exercises, and meditation/prayer to relax the anxious thoughts and soothe yourself.

Question 8

should i keep a cat even if it causing allergy problems with my children ages 2 thru 7?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Several factors here.  I usually never recommend it if the family is attached to the pet, but if it is causing severe symptoms, you should sequester the animal out of the bedrooms and living spaces.  Then make sure you thoroughly rid those areas of cat dander as it is a potent and tenacious allergen.

Question 9

does a cough come with allergies in children?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes: But not all the time. Nasal allergies are not a frequent cause of a really bad persistent cough. In a child with allergies and a really bad cough (assuming no fever) I would be concerned about a reactive airway/asthma type condition. If the child also had eczema I would be even more concerned.

Question 10

can a parents' allergies to various foods be passed on to their children?

Accepted Answer

No: The condition of being allergic is certainly an inherited property.  Often, that tendancy is greater in children whose biological mother has allergies.  However, specific allergy is generally not thought to be inherited.  That is, a parent can be allergic to food, and their children allergic to pollen or insect stings.
