Atopic Dermatitis in Baby

My 9mos.baby has Atopic Dermatitis, Doctor prescribed use of Cetaphil Lotion as shampoo. Now her hair is falling and she has itchy scalp.If it is allergy to the lotion how can i treat it to return to normal condition?

It seems that you are asking for a second medical opinion. This is not a place for such advice. If it is an allergy, it is very important for you need to go back to the doctor who prescribed the medication and ask him/her about your concerns. Your baby’s relationship with the doctor did not end with a prescription and the doctor needs to be kept in the loop if something is not going well.

I am not evading your question, but you should know that my practice is basically hair loss in adults with a leaning to surgery as a solution (when necessary). Clearly, the area of a 9 month old with atopic dermatitis is outside my relm of expertise.
