DS (4) and DD (1) both have patches of spotty skin, on DS it's only on his upper arms and they're all small and white, had them since he was tiny.
DD's cheeks are covered in them - they appeared at the same time we introduced formula and now spreading to her arms and legs. Paeditrician says she just has dry skin and to moisturise, GP in UK (we're currently in US) proscribed steroid cream for DS to no avail. I'm just struck that both started at the same as introducing dairy products, but I had plenty of dairy while BF both of them.
DD's skin can sometimes look very angry and last few days we've introduced cow's milk it's got worse....could this potentially be a mild dairy intolerance, is it worth cutting out dairy for a few weeks to check?
