A member asked:
Red, burning rash on cheek, ear and neck after eating chinese food, what is the cause?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Food allergy???: not much info provided but think about MSG (monosodium glutamate) a flavor enhancer frequently used in Chinese restaurants. Cook at home and not at that restaurant. Rash should disappear quickly on its own. If you want apply topical hydrocortisone 0.5%.

Chinese rash: Not certain if this rash due to the Chinese food. It could be some sort of atopic dermatitis. As with most rashes they must be looked at by the physician in order to make accurate diagnosis. Please upload pictures of the rash and make an appointment to be seen by a dermatologist here on HealthTap.
