Yes, if your baby has eczema and an egg allergy, trying peanuts for the first time under medical supervision is the safest approach. When these two conditions appear together, the risk of developing a peanut allergy rises noticeably. Current pediatric guidance recommends that babies with this profile should try peanuts for the first time in a setting where a serious allergic reaction can be managed immediately (in an allergist's or pediatrician's office). Your doctor may also decide whether to run a skin test or blood test first, depending on your baby's risk level. Trying this at home on your own could cause dangerous delays if a serious reaction occurs.
