A member asked:
Where on the body do rashes caused by food allergies usually occur?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Varies: All over (urticaria / hives / itchy blotches), or in the creases of the elbows and knees (atopic dermatitis). Dh from gluten senstivity symmetic, upper body. Some of the more mysterious skin diseases may also be caused by food hypersensitivity sometimes. Food allergy is best diagnosed by what happens to a person if they eat the stuff; it can be dangerous and needs respect. Best wishes.

All over: Rashes caused by food allergy can occur all over the body. Eczema and hives can be made worse by food allergy. Sometimes food allergy causes a rash by the mouth only or just tongue symptoms.
