What Causes Skin Rash After Consuming Particular Food?

Hello Dr Grief. I dont have any allergies to any food or medicine but after eating a non quality ham in a trusted restaurant the 3 of us started to itch in less than an hour. Even if we took loratidine, it did not stop the hives like rash. Any possibility?

Hi,

The symptoms are pointing towards allergic reaction only with a possibility of any spoiled or expired ingredient in the burger that is causing you a rash.

So if the symptoms are not getting better you can consult an Emergency room and get evaluated and a blood test can be done to rule out the cause.

You can also be advised a steroid shot along with oral anti-allergics to relieve the symptoms faster. Also doing ice packs over the rashes and applying Caladryl lotion can help in improvement. Drink plenty of water.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
