Question 1

could red cheeks on an 18 month old be a sign of a peanut allergy? last 2 times of feeding my son peanut butter (days apart) his cheeks turned red.

Accepted Answer

Nut allergy: Certainly the timing is suspicious for a mild allergic reaction.  Delaying introduction of complex proteins is recommended to avoid sensitization of infants.  Close observation with future trials of nuts would be prudent.  Keep an antihistamine handy!

Question 2

has it been determined that person can have a honey allergy?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The components in honey that can trigger allergic reactions in 22 patients studied included: 60% allergic to weed pollen, 75% allergic to dandelion honey; and 41% allergic to bee venom.  

A paper from 1992 published in the journal allergy: http://www.Ncbi.Nlm.Nih.Gov/pubmed/1590566.

Question 3

child has faint red rash on cheeks and chest, does not itch, only other symptom is congestion which he has has for a month (allergies) should i worry?

Accepted Answer

Should be seen.: It is difficult to diagnose a rash without seeing it. There are many viruses which cause rashes, but strep can cause a rash as you have described also. I would recommend you call your child's doctor and have he or she take a look, so that your child can be diagnosed properly and receive any necessary treatment.

Question 4

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Acne Rosacea?: You may have this condition especially if you blush easily . Your family doctor or dermatologist will be able to help you on this condition.

Question 6

can people with bee allergies eat honey?  what about peanut allergies and peanut oil?

Accepted Answer

Bee allergies: Since honey is a by product of bees and pollen and not the venom there shouldn't bee (sorry pun) a problem.      It is the venom in the bee sting that causes the reaction.    However, peanut oil is derived from peanuts directly and thus can cause a reaction.   Honey is ok   peanut oil isn't if you are allergic to peanuts.

Question 7

shrimp allergy? ate some & within minutes my lips were bright red my face red and a rash on cheeks also lips numb. will it get worse, i rarely eat it?

Accepted Answer

Shrimp allergy: It could get worse. Take Benadryl (diphenhydramine) now in the hopes that you can stop the reaction. In the future stay away from crusteaceans such as crab, lobster, prawns etc. There is cross reactivity among these crusteaceans.

Question 8

we introduced our 7th month old  to peanuts as suggested by our doctor. afterwards, his face, reaching down to his neck and legs had patches of redness and scale which feels very warm. what are the remedies to relieve these symptoms if it's allergy?

Accepted Answer

: It is best we dont speculate. Take him to the doctor to have that checked out. It could be an allergy. I hope he does well

Question 9

i have red rashes all over my body and it is really itchy, i'm on holiday so i think the reason is that i may have a beef allergy by the way i also st?

Rash: If ST stands for sore throat, you may have scarlet fever or a strep infection.  Hives are typically an allergy, either to a food or environmental allergy or even stress.

Question 10

See a derm: I would recommend you see a board certified dermatologist in your area. There are many potential causes for your symptoms and rash. It may be eczema / atopic dermatitis.
