<< you will see the
 rash disappear and a form of CARA appear >>what is CARA and do we have some
data about how treating eczema externally will cause the skin lesions to go
away and instead cause CARA in the baby? (might be useful for those who are
treating eczema topically only and find the baby has a respiratory problem
instead).

i am thinking from some of the responses that i was not entirely clear about
this case. it is the baby who suffers from the eczema, and it is caused by
dairy products in the donor milk he has been getting. he is being switched to
non-dairy donor breastmilk (hard to find, believe me). my point was that if
you don't fix what is causing the eczema (topical steroids being just the
quickest way to offer the poor baby some relief while his diet is improved),
it doesn't matter what kind of remedies you offer. so a homeopathic remedy to
treat the eczema, to my mind, is not a sufficient treatment for something
caused by his diet.
