Baby facial outbreak
by lrfarrier, Aug 10, 2008 09:54AM
my friend's baby is about 4 mo. old. she has been breast feeding and started supplementing with milk-base formula. Baby just recieved chicken pox vaccine shot about a week ago. about four days ago she broke out around the mouth on nose and all is like boils, red, pus-filled then scaly and peeling. Dr. prescribed an anti-viral for herpes/fever blisters but (both parents are healthy) baby is now breaking out on her legs and trunk. I noticed small pin-point size dots starting on her two weeks ago when I fed her her first formula. My babies used to break out mildly like this when I fed them soy or milk formula until I switched to lactose-free. Could this be an allergy due to the formula, or is there something the Dr. could have missed? It seems to be getting worse and not better.

From my experience your concerns and suspensions are justified and well informed. The doctor probably wanted to address a possible worse case scenario first, but the wrong formula frequently causes the problems you have mentioned if the peeling is not too deep into the skin.
