If my urticaria appears on the scalp and face, can it be presumed that i'm allergic to a specific food group? my allergy can appear any day, any hour.

Unrelated : If you have chronic urticaria, most probably it is spontaneous, no foods will confine it to just the scalp and face. Kindly see a dermatologist for better management, best wishes
