What Causes Itchy Rash On Lips And Swollen Eye With Vaginal Itching?
About a week ago I ate two mangoes with the skin still on them. About a day and a half later I woke up and the whole left side of my face was covered in a really itchy rash, my lips and left eye were swollen, and my vagina had the exact same itchiness. I did some research online and it seems like it was the mango that caused this. Could this be true? I also have only had sexual intercourse with one man and know for a fact it's not an STD.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
STDs would not normally present with a rash to the face, so this would not be a cause of the problem.
The reaction sounds like an allergic response and it is possible that it was related to the mangoes though allergies can occur to any food or drink consumed.
If you did not use any other foods/drinks that may have caused this then it may be the mangoes.
I hope this helps
