Why Am I Having Sweating And Pimples On Cheeks After Eating Chocolate?

Hello, I just was just wondering if this is an allergic reaction or something more serious. While I eat choclate I sweat, it happens all the time on my face in the cheek, nose,chin and head areas. Recently I ate a lot of chocolate and I noticed what I thought where pimples on my cheeks but they were kind of itchy but I don't know if it was because of the chocolate.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

The symptoms which you developed after eating chocolates is may you are allergic to chocolates.To confirm that you have to test for absolute eosinophil count (AEC) this will be increased in any allergic reactions.

If the AEC is increased you can undergo skin prick test to find out the chocolate allergen which is causing all these symptoms. If you are allergic to the chocolates you have to avoid as for as possible.

If you cannot avoid this you can go for treatment like immunotherapy which will sensitize you against the allergen and boost up the immunity to fight against the particular antigen.
Thank you.
