Hi,

Your daughter may be having atopic dermatitis. It is an inherited disease. There may be so many allergens responsible for the preciptation of atopic dermatitis. Skin may be dry. Contactants like wool,housedust,housedust mite,pollens,soap, detergents,deodarants, powder,cosmetics..etc may be responsible. Cows milk and its product might exacerbate the disease. You consult dermatologist. Discuss about the disease and its causes. Hemight guide properly. Antihistaminics like hydroxyzine HCL syrup may be given. Apply mild steroid cream ortacrolimus 0.03 % oint. She may be alright. Take precaution to prevent the relapse. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
