Eleanor has had bumps on her chin that occasionally spread to her upper lip for weeks now. They come and go after she eats, so I'm pretty sure it's a reaction to some food, but I'm not sure what. I was careful to introduce foods slowly, watching for allergy signs, but this now is a mystery and showed up after whatever culprit's 5 day wait period. Anyway, this rash just got suddenly worse over the weekend...
Does anyone have any ideas about what it might be?
I've kind of decided it is most likely tomatoes, citrus, melon or dairy... ???

Starting around age one, Emma would get crazy red rashes from strawberries and tomatoes. I think it was the acidity or such. Good luck!
Your family stories are so fun to read. Thanks for sharing.
This didn't happen to Allie so I can't offer any advice. However, my instinct before I read what you thought might be the culprit was melon or some kind of fruit. I'm just guessing though. Might want to take her to her pediatrician or even a dermatologist to know for sure. Brandon had a reaction to mango that looked very similar to this and his spread to his eye. The dermatologist said it was a reaction to him eating the fruit right off the peel. Supposedly if he eats mango that is peeled for him he'll be fine but he needs to stay away from the peel. Did she by any chance have mango??
She eats mango all the time, but actually hasn't had any recently. I'm thinking right now it's probably cantaloupe...
It hasn't happened with Nathan, but Aiden would get that with any citrus. It would make his saliva a little too acidic and irritate his skin. He still has a small sensitivity to citrus, but has grown out of it for the most part.
Kayli had this when she was teething. It was a result of the increase drool! Also, during summer she was prone to get it because she was eating more fruit, again, a drool factor. Hope this helps,
A
