Dealing with Allergy:
This is the first time we are dealing with allergy in our kids. Never had this experience with Aaron.

Fiona has been having raised red dots on her arms for 2 weeks. Initially, I scared myself thinking it is hfmd... thankfully, it is not. No fever, no rashes on the foot and palms. Diagnosis was made... F is allergic to something... BUT what???

Ruling out starts...
Food? Not really... nothing new given.
Dust mites? Maybe ... but we sanitised the cots, playpens etc... but still more spots come out.....
Finally, after thinking thru the history, we think she is allergic to dog's fur!! Oh dear... she got the spots after she has been crawling on the floor. :(

Antidote:
Normal cream didnt work... tried several others ... also failed... finally tried Neoderm ... and her condition seemed to have improved.
Gotta avoid letting her crawl on the floor at ah mah's place.
On the ionizer full blast.. (haha!)
