Dr. MMM - diagnose my kid

[birdmom]

Within minutes of DS finishing dinner, his cheeks got really blotchy and red. They were perfect circles of red, about 2.5 inches around, right above his jawline. I gave him a bath, and they went away after about an hour. Anyone?

[pierogigirl]

Did he eat an acidic food? My DS has some kind of sensitivity to something in salad (dressing?) and he gets red after eating it. I'm going to bring it up with his pedi at his well visit next week.

Did he have a new food?

[drloretta]

Might be a mild allergic reaction. Did he have something new?

[CloudBee]

What did he eat?

[Deleted]

Sounds like hives (allergy).

[nonsenseabound]

New food?

[birdmom]

It was a taco. He has never had one, but has had everything thats in it. Maybe the seasoning? He didn't break out anywhere else, just his face.

DS gets red blotches when he eats ranch dressing and jelly (not together) when it sits on his face too long. Was his face messy?

[birdmom]

Yeah, his face was a little bit messy while he was eating. I put him in the tub right after he ate, and that's when I noticed it.

We think ranch is the culprit for my son, too.
