I believe it is allergy induced:  allergies to foods.  I am still nursing my
daughter, and when i eat any form of dairy (even tho i know i SHOULD NOT), her
eczema gets a little worse.  when i've been especially good with my food
intake, it disappears.  she has had  this problem long before i started her on
solids, so i know it is my diet and not hers that is the problem.
