I am definitely wanting to hear the results of her allergy test. I definitely DON'T want her to have any allergies to food. However, it will ease my mind a bit as to why she is constantly scratching herself. It almost seems to be a habit. She constantly scratches the same spot over and over until she's red & raw. :-( The location of scratching lately has been her lower back. Before that it was the back of her neck/upper back. She would always have scratches on the top of her back that looked awful. At least now her location of choice is usually covered with a layer of clothing to prevent too much damage. But as soon as her clothes come off for a diaper change her hands go immediately to her back and begin scratching away! If she's wearing just a shirt instead of a onesie, she can easily lift it up and begin scratching. I feel so bad for her.
If tests come back positive, I really hope a change in her diet changes her compulsive scratching.
If tets come back negative, I'm not sure what to do about the situation.

Waiting to hear! Praying it's a simple problem with a simple answer.
