Yesterday we had to take Sage to the Doctor. This is our fifth visit since May dealing with her skin issues. She has a rash all over her stomach, back, legs and diaper area. We were the last appointment of the day, so we got to spend some time consulting with the Doctor. She even brought in another Doctor to consult with to determine a diagnosis for Sage. What they came up with is the it is Eczema and to get Sage referred to a Pediatric Dermatologist at OHSU. Right now, we are treating Sage with a steroid cream (which she absolutely hates when we put on her) and giving her special lotion to help her skin.
We are happy that the doctors spent time with Sage to try and determine what it is, but we are a little discouraged at the fact that we don’t know “exactly” what it is and how we can treat it and more importantly, how do we prevent it!!
But good news is, Sage is still a happy, smiley little girl who demands the attention of everyone around her! So we are grateful that she doesn’t seem to be bothered by it.
We’ll keep you posted once we get in to see the Pediatric Dermatologist.
