***1st timer: did i choose the right tx for my toddler???***

In my attempt to go the holistic route I have purchased the sulphur 6c. I am just wondering if this is the right treatment for my son. I also purchased aloe vera leaf in hopes to use it as a topical relief instead of the petroleum creams.

My 27 month old has suffered from what the pediatrician calls ecxema. When he was a newborn/infant it was concentrated on his cheeks with redness and some bleeding. Now it is concentrated only behind his knees but his overall skin feels quite rough. Here are the symptoms:
SYMPTOMS
*Behind his knees his skin is quite flaky and very red. He scratches it vigorously, whether he has pants or not.
*It seems to subside when I put a cream on him but not very long
* I have tried almost all types of cream. At first I followed the doctor's rx of over the counter steroids and creams. I have used all natural products. All to no avail
* His overall skin condition is rough and patchy where before it was baby soft
* His back of his knees seem to be better when the room is cooler and when he is out and about. It gets worse with he is without pants and on the carpet or floor.
BEHAVIOUR
* He has now started to sleep through the night but he does wake at times at the same time crying.
*He LOVES water and bathes and can live in a pool which we have frequented this summer.
* I try to bathe him every other day although this summer has been more frequent since he enjoys the chlorinated pool
*He is a very active boy even when tired and can have tantrums but he is easily calmed with touch.
DIET
* He still nurses although I am 28 weeks pregnant and not producing the same amount of milk (just colostrum)
*He has been diagnosed with food allergies since age one: dairy, egg, soy, tree nuts and peanuts.
* His diet is almost vegan with the exception of fish a few times a week.
*He is a great eater, loves all fruit and most veggies and we do not eat processed foods or food that contain dyes We eat organic most of the time.
*He has not been vaccinated since he was one and rarely goes to the pediatrician anymore ( i am looking for a holistic pediatrician currently).

Any help would be ever so appreciated.
