Evil red is back

It started with a bit of heat rash on the back of Mason which we now have realized that he's too hot when he sleeps (little guy is like a furnace!) and from the prickly little dots turned into excema and it quickly spread to his entire body, again.  (sigh) I was so getting use to his flawless skin which was baby soft.  It's nice to know it's still under 'there'.  So back to the pharmacy to rewew a prescription for Hyderm (1% HC) which is the best for full coverage.  I'm using Elidel for spot treatment which I think has a higher concentration of HC.  So it's not a food allergy (yay I can have milk back) and it's somewhat environmental.  We've stopped using a blanket at night and just use a heavier recieving blanket which will retain warmth but not get him too hot.  It's amazing his temp even gets that high despite the window being open and having an oscilating fan on when he's in the room.  (it is said to reduce SIDS) plus we sleep with a fan on in our room [Clayton likes the white noise].
