Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

Soy allergy: Very often milk and soy allergies are co-existent. Please discuss the use of a hypoallergenic formula and food allergy CAP testing with your pediatrician. Skin care includes avoiding immersion in water, use of a baby eczema cream several times daily and a low dose steroid cream twice daily.
