I don't think that's an accurate statement ...by a long shot. A larger percentage of kiddos outgrow allergies than not. There are exceptions, of course... and peanuts is one of them. I read somewhere that 80% of kiddos with dairy allergies outgrow them, while only 20% (if that) outgrow peanut allergies.
If I was in your shoes, I would 100% avoid ALL dairy.... period. Then try again in year. Don't keep trying here and there, just to see. Simply avoid it like the plague and give his immune system a chance to fully recover and mature.
But, a positive skin test doesn't mean a life sentence. It does, however, mean that you need to avoid whatever shows as a positive, completely... and perhaps try again in a year or so.
