American doctors and eczema in babies

This is from my extremely smart and well-read friend Claire: "Now the latest cream/drug for excema, Elidel, is under attack by the FDA which wants to add a "black box" warning about the increased risk of cancer. This drug was marketed as "safe to use on the eyelids of babys for two years". So if you are using Elidel it might be prudent to stop using it until the truth comes out!" And heeeeeere's MY comment: You know, this type of thing makes me so mad that I could ... spit. When my child had really awful eczema, the doctor just kept giving us all sorts of creams and telling us that they were fine (he was under a year at the time.) We had our doubts, in part to listening to "info goddess" Claire. When the pharmacist looked at our prescription, looked at the baby, and then came out from behind the counter to advise us not to use the cream below the navel because "it can harm developing testes" that was enough for us. Even though our "oh, so relaxed and casual" doctor intimated that we were overdoing it by severely limiting my child's diet (wheat, eggs, dairy, tomatoes, nuts, chocolate, and pineapple), when we took that stuff out, the ECZEMA STOPPED. Not like it was all that rough, either, you know? But that's just NOT the protocol for doctors to tell Americans. I find that utterly bizarre. Folks? If your kid has a rash, you can try limiting food yourself! As a matter of fact, ONLY you can do that. Tests given to infants usually are not all that correct (for allergies). But if they break out when you feed them wheat, you know one thing for sure: they break out if you feed them wheat. Can be VERY helpful. Babies grow out of all sorts of stuff. Doesn't hurt a thing to avoid certain foods for the first few years. >
