What Could Cause Itching (face And Limbs) On High Sugar Intake?

I'm 25 yrs old, African American female with no past medical history. I notice every time I eat or drink something very sweet (in large amount)I start to itch on my face, neck and arms. What could be the reason for that? Is it some kind of sugar intolerance?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is more in keeping with an allergic reaction to some component of the meal.

Allergic responses tend to worsen as a person is continually exposed to the stimulus.

If you wish to be sure exactly what you are allergic to you can ask your doctor about allergy testing. This can be in the form of blood tests or skin tests.

It would be best to avoid the triggers.

I hope this helps
