4 year old skin and emotional issues
Hello,My four year old son has battled a skin issue most of his life that comes and goes possibly with weather possibly with food, I'm not sure. He has seen a few homeopaths but with no real success. He is very bumpy on his legs, kidney area, upper arms, and his cheeks and lips get red and dry. I think his has an underlying issue like a fungal problem or a yeast issue. He often has fungus between his toes (athletes foot). He eats a lot and craves sweets. Lots of growing pains. Won't keep the covers on at night. Skin is usually cool but he complains of being hot. Restless sleeper and sometimes cries in his sleep but cannot be roused to explain why. His itchiness is much worse at night and often aggravated by a bath. Seems to be worse in winter but it is up and down. Sunlight in the summer definitely helps.
As I said his rashness comes and goes but when it starts up he becomes an emotional wreck. He is typically a sweet loving child but the rash makes him violent and angry. He makes statements of intended harm or saying he will break or throw a toy. He is mean to his sister and my wife and I. He His appetite also goes up and down and he is less hungry when the rash is full blown but he wants to eat snacks through out the day rather than meals. He screams as loud as possible at random times. Again, this is only when the rash is present. He is not like this when the rash goes away. We give him vitamins and probiotics and he sees a nutritional chiropractor. He also drinks a water kefir daily.
I am trying to study in my spare time to be a homeopath but I am not equipped to handle this. I was thinking of trying sulphur. He has been on chamomile before and it didn't seem to do anything. He does crave chamomile tea though. For what it is worth, my wife has struggled with similar issues seen he was born and she was given antibiotics in the hospital during delivery. I wonder if his immune system and or natural flora was disturbed by that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
