Eczema or food allergy?

Best thing to do is keep a food diary and see if you can determine what is causing the rash.

My daughter always got a rash/hives around her mouth and it would disappear within a couple of hours. The rash/hives can show up instantly or within an hour/couple of hours of consuming the food x

Good to know! She’s never had any facial rashes and they usually don’t go away for a couple of days so I’m leaning towards eczema but I never want to accidentally ignore an allergy symptom! Food diary is a good idea

How did you discover it was dairy and eggs? I haven’t been able to narrow anything down.

My baby girl used to get excema and reacted to almost every new food by getting a rash on her face or neck, until she turned about 8 months. Now she's fine.

Eczema is a symptom of some form of allergic reaction. You'll need to keep a food diary to see what's flared up.

if you don’t mind me asking , what was she allergic to? x

We suspected that it was oats, wheat, tomatoes, banana, strawberry and egg. So I cut all these out of her diet and the rash went away as soon as she stopped eating this. We then went for a skin prick test a few months later and it came up that she has an egg allergy on top of her milk allergy. Everything else she grew out of x

thank you, we’ll do that!!

thank you! My son gets this rash and I THINK it might be potatoes and tomatoes but unsure.

Try them both on their own first thing in the morning on different days and see if a rash appears. Food diary is a good thing to do as well x

If it comes and goes around her mouth I would guess allergy or sensitivity. They can grow out of a lot of allergies my son was allergic to dairy at 9 months and grew to be no longer reactive by 14 months
