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
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.
