Keep a little diary, with symptoms and foods --clothes, etc. so you can begin to identify patterns. It may be contact dermatitis from laundry detergent, food sensitivities, candida, etc. Try some oral probiotics to decrease his immune reaction, and consult a trained health care practitioner to help identify the cause. If it is a prescription medication it simply pushes the problem deeper, and then it reappears.
So, treating the cause is necessary. Dr. Karen Benton, Naturopathic Physician
