Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through the details and feel that you need to take your child to a dermatologist or an allergy specialist who can look deeper into the problem and also evaluate the specific ingredients she is allergic to.
You seem to be located in California but I do not have your specific location. You would be able to locate appropriate centers through the WebMD Physician Directory as in:
