What Causes Allegric Skin Rashes

My daughter broke out in hives. We originally thought it was from eating too many oranges. Her doc gave her oral steroids and it cleared up..she then ate some cake that myhusband brought home that a friend gave him. It looks to be homemade. Any idea what ingredient could in something like this cause this kind of reaction? Shes 3 and has only had an allergy to sunblock but nevver like this.

Hi,

Based on the information you have given, think that the ingredient of that cake only could have led to her allergic reaction. Egg, milk, cake mix or flour used, additive flavors in that cake etc can be the possible culprits. You should inquire the friend who prepared the cake about ingredients used, find out the things in it which are new and not common eatables in her diet. And make sure to avoid these ingredients which were given first time for her.

Hope it helps!
