I have an odd case. My infant son suffers, yes suffers, from psoriasis. He was diagnosed when he was about 4 months old. He is now 10 months. He itches all the time. We do have a prescription antihistamine that really helps with the itching called Anorax (sp?). Our pediatrition's grown son has psoriasis and this is what they used on him as a small child. Ian is on a drop for his head, prescription cortisone for his face and another cream for the rest of him. My problem is this. Have any of you noticed that certain foods make it worse? What food allergies does anyone have? Ian is allergic to wheat, milk and soy. We have started him on barley cereal and I am thinking that that might be bothering him as well. He was a little broken out before we started it but he is really starting to break out again.
