Can Honey Cause Rashes And Swelling On Skin?

I started a cleanse where I eliminated all processed foods, including sugar & dairy products, very similar to how I normally eat but a little more intense. I started using raw honey as a sweetener about 3 days ago. I noticed a swelling on my face 2 days ago & dismissed it. Last night I had extra raw honey from the jar & this morning woke up with a large rash of red pimples on my face. I CAN ONLY CONCLUDE THAT THIS IS A REACTION TO THE HONEY?

Hi and Welcome to HCM,

No honey cannot cause rashes and swelling on skin. Only processed honey should be taken. Raw honey may not be pure and may cause allergic to the skin.

Wish you speedy recovery
Thank you
