Your little girl seems to have an eczema rash. Wheat allergy is quite conmmon in children with eczema, but wheat-free diets are very difficult to apply. It is best to get the advice of a dietician in your area. Fortunately your daughter has a very good chance of outgrowing her wheat allergy.Use Epimax Junior on her body after bathing her.You can also apply this cream to her arms and cheeks.
