A parent reached out to me about her baby.
Theyâve cut dairy, nuts, eggs (confirmed allergies).
Theyâve tried low-salicylate diets, bleach baths, countless creams, and steroids.
It used to flare here and there.
Now itâs everywhere. All the time.
Hereâs the part no one explains:
When eczema keeps spreading, itâs not because you havenât eliminated enough or managed hard enough. Itâs because inflammation is still building underneath.
Restrictions and steroids can quiet symptoms.
They donât resolve reactivity.
And when the drivers arenât addressed, eczema doesnât calm down â it escalates.
This isnât failure.
Itâs a system asking for deeper support.
If this sounds like your baby, you donât need to cut more foods. You need to understand whatâs actually driving the inflammation so the skin can stop reacting everywhere.
đ Comment SKIN and Iâll explain what needs support next.
