It sounds like he might have eczema and the seborrhea on the scalp actually is a part of this rash. You might see if you can find some CeraVe lotion or cream (available at Walgreen and CVS pharmacies here) as it is better than Aveeno. The prescription cream is probably a mild steroid cream so that will help alot.

As to the formula, I would not keep switching as each time it upsets his system and it can take 2 weeks to get used to the new formula. Most any formula is fine if you just stick with it as lactose intolerance is not present in newborns (breastmilk has lactose) and babies tolerate it fine. All babies go through a period of slowing of bowel movements at 6-8 weeks and it gets better in spite of whatever we do by 4 months of age!

Good luck and I know it is a problem living remote like you do. The internet comes in handy though, especially with a site like this one.
