A member asked:

My son had a rash. i took him to his doctor. it looks like eczema. no other symptoms. his doctor wants me to switch him over to soy milk to rule out milk allergy. is this always the first step?? he is 8 1/2 months old. no problems until now w/ formul?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Food allergy is found in about a third of people with eczema. This is not an uncommon early step, and may help. There are blood tests that can suggest milk associated allergy but this is a low cost effort that is easy. About a third of those with milk allergy will also react to soy.
