Question 7

can rubbing alcohol be use as a treatment for adhesive allergy?

Accepted Answer

Confusing question: Rubbing alcohol can certainly be helpful in getting any adhesive residue off the skin of anyone who is sensitive to that residue. As far as any benefit after that, i don't think there is one. You certainly can't drink it, and continued application to the skin will just dry it out.

Question 8

what is the best treatment for a child with eczema and several allergies?

Accepted Answer

See an Allergist: Allergies, especially seasonal and food allergies, are strongly associated with eczema. Until you see an allergist, best things are to keep the little cutey lotioned up with hypoallergenic emollients, vaselines, hypoallergenic cleansers, no scrubbing in the bath and patting the skin dry, keeping fingernails short (they cause extreme damage). More scratch = worse eczema.
