Probably not: There is no reason to believe that it will be helpful. The types of pollen in bee pollen could potentially cross react with some foods, but there are no studies showing that bee pollen will help with this. The only treatment for eczema that is due to food allergies is avoidance of the foods to which your toddler is allergic.

It could: It depends what your child is allergic to. I would not try anything even if it is otc without talking it over with your allergist or physician.

Develop an allergy and skin treatment plan with your Pediatrician and Allergist. If there is a family history of allergies, other symptoms including wheezing are more likely to occur. Understand avoidance measures, discuss food handling and treatment options. Watch for signs of respiratory distress, vomiting and drooling, and if these occur, please see the Emergency room.
