My baby (1 year old) has eczema and allergies. He is under the care of an allergist.
The eczema is under control for the most part, though he does get flareups.
Sometimes his eyes get all puffy and red, and it seems to be unconnected to the eczema. Anyone have any idea why this happens?
ETA : I should have put this in the allergies section but I dont know how to move it

Are you managing the eczema topically? Because if you are that does nothing for the allergy/atopy that’s going on. If he’s off allergic foods it could still be environmental allergies.

I am managing the eczema with creams and ointments that his doctor prescribed.
He is off allergic foods, but the doctor said not to stop eating those foods in my own diet. He holds that in the vast majority of cases, the allergy doesnt pass through mother's milk..
Is there anything I can do to treat the puffiness?

I hear. That makes sense, thanks.
Its just that he is allergic to so many foods that I would be very limited 
Do you know if there is one specific food that presents as that type of reaction?
He is allergic to dairy, eggs, fish, sesame and peanuts. And dustmites.
