It seems that you are asking for a second medical opinion. This is not a place for such advice. If it is an allergy, it is very important for you need to go back to the doctor who prescribed the medication and ask him/her about your concerns. Your baby’s relationship with the doctor did not end with a prescription and the doctor needs to be kept in the loop if something is not going well.

I am not evading your question, but you should know that my practice is basically hair loss in adults with a leaning to surgery as a solution (when necessary). Clearly, the area of a 9 month old with atopic dermatitis is outside my relm of expertise.
