Broken Veins
Hi, My son is six.
He has suddenly developed some broken veins on his face and they are increasing on the other side. He is Atopic; allergic to dairy and egg with very dry skin, asthma and previously eczema. He is taking a low dose of inhaled cortiscosteroid everyday for nine months and is regularly reviewed etc although has recently been wheezy and allergic to pollen. I have also wondered whether the sunscreen I am using, which is a children's Uk sensitive one may be responsbile? I use it liberally although do not reapply every one to two hours (as suggested) as he is at school, is is possible I am using too much of this? Is it likely to be disrupting hormones etc. Any ideas very welcome please!
