Food allergies can affect more than just your gut. A food allergy occurs when your immune system responds defensively to a specific food protein. There are well-known food allergies that can cause anaphylaxis – tree nuts, peanuts, and shellfish are the most common. However, many people begin noticing that something is going on by reactions on their skin. It is sometimes difficult to determine what exact foods are causing a reaction to your skin because many food ingredients are mixed together as in a casserole or salad.

Symptoms of a food allergy that often irritate the skin involve rashes around the mouth, where food may have come in contact with the skin. Rashes can often appear on the neck, arms, and torso, and may take up to two hours to appear after eating certain foods. Contact dermatitis is a skin condition that results in red, blister-like patches on the skin. It is typically found at the site of direct contact with the irritant, in this case a certain food. Other, more serious, conditions can cause more serious reactions and should be evaluated as soon as possible by your doctor or dermatologist.

At Medical Dermatology Specialists, Dr. Jamie Weisman is a nationally recognized board-certified dermatologist who understands that skin issues are more than simply “skin deep.” Aside from rashes at and around the mouth, certain autoimmune diseases and other skin conditions can be affected by foods that you eat.

Our Patient Reviews

Dr. Weisman was very professional, friendly, and engaged in conversation with terminology I would understand. Her beside manner was, quite frankly, surprising! It was one of the most comfortable visits I've ever experienced with a doctor.

Dr. Weisman is a great doctor! She was very informative and personally! Her staff were very welcoming as well I'm glad I found her because she is the only doctor who truly explained what was going with me.
Waquele H.
I truly cannot express how thankful I am for this practice. I have been treated with kindness and immense care by every staff member I have encountered here. The nurses and assistants are beyond attentive and genuinely care for the patient. I have just received a treatment plan from Dr. Laura Biehl, and even if this particular treatment plan doesn't provide me relief, I am confident that Dr. Biehl will work to figure out a solution. She is extremely knowledgeable, listens to patient concerns, and takes time to answer patient questions. Dr. Biehl, and this practice are true gems. If you have any dermatological issues this practice is absolutely the best of the best.
