What Causes Red, Itchy Patches On Torso, Collarbone And Face?
I have recently developed red, itchy patches on my torso, collar bone and (sometimes) face. I have been drinking Herbal Life shakes & protein for approx 2.5 months and also taking some of their supplements. Today, I found out that many people have developed these conditions after taking Herbal Life....I definitely think stopping the products is in order, but am wondering what ingredient I could be allergic to???

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible to develop an allergic reaction to any herb, medication , food or drink consumed.
The risk of possible reactions would vary from one person to the next.
It would not be possible to know which ingredient you are allergic to unless you have allergy testing done for each one.
You can ask your doctor whether one of these allergy profiles is available.
I hope this helps
