Allergy or something else?

The past 2 nights just as my daughter is finishing her dinner this red patchy rash has shown up around her mouth, last night she had a pepperoni pizza and I thought maybe it was a lil spicy and maybe that’s why, but tonight she hasn’t had anything spicy, but she did have a little ketchup, idk if it’s just a rash and it’s a coincidence that it’s shown up both nights, or if it’s like a tomato allergy or something idk, that’s the only thing that she had last night and tonight. It was completely cleared up this morning.

It pretty common for tomato to irritate their skin. If she’s otherwise well it’s probably that

yeah she’s fine otherwise, and as I said it was completely gone by this morning. Just thought it was odd as she’s had tomato’s, ketchup and pizza before and not had this rash x

I would just take pictures when it does happen so you can document it. Just in case it is an actual allergy

It could be cos tomatoes and ketchup are acidic and its just irritated her skin if she got it round her face

That looks like an allergic reaction to the tomatoes. My daughter had a rash like that when it came to eggs. Pop some Vaseline on if she’s having tomatoes and reduce the intake of tomatoes as they are quite acidic and can cause a contact reaction which I can remember the exact name for it x

My son gets this with all ketchup except for Asda own brand x

I’d say tomatoes 🍅 reaction. My daughter was having the same at that age when either having row tomatoes or parmesan cheese. She 20 months and it’s not happening anymore and cherry tomatoes are her favourite snacks
