Mgt: Very often individuals with food allergies will have skin reactions such as hives. If the allergen comes in contact with the skin this may also cause a local reaction. I would advise allergy testing and FARE has important information. Watch for any cough, dyspnea or wheezing.

Be careful: Going 6 times to the hospital for a reaction isn't something to be taken lightly, you need to keep an epinephrine injection or pen, and antihistaminic handy, if you aren't already, avoid triggers, peanuts are present in many sweets, unfortunately, please visit an allergist/immunologist, check aaaai.org or acaai.org fir an allergist in your area, good luck
