Just revived this as I think our 10 month old may have it. We have had weeks of red sore bottom with spots which doesnt respond to any of the over the counter creams nor canesten on prescription. Exposure to air, nor omitting wipes doesnt help. She has been having strawberries for a while now and I didnt think anything about it until yesterday when she ate some strawberries, was a bit messy with them and got a rash on her face around her mouth where the strawberry had been. The spots are the same as the spots on her nappy area.

Has anyone else had a baby with strawberry allergy that had sore botty symptoms as well as spots on her face?

Hope GP is helpful.

DS1 does that Red blotchy rash comes up all over his face whenever he eats them. He also gets it with one of the E numbers (haven't worked out which for sure) because Pranw cocktail & bacon crisps do it, as do LOverheart sweets.

He's never done more than have a blotchy rash for a few hours though so I don't know if that counts as a true allergy or just an intolerance.

I was apparently allergic to strawberries as a toddler. I would break out in a patchy lumpy rash. I don't remember it at all, happily I grew out of it!

Another one here who used to come out in red blotches after eating strawberries. Grew out of it but still treat strawberries as a special treat i.e. only a few at a time.

Yes, my son had this allergy (along with others). He's thankfully outgrown it now though.

I had this rashy/strawberry allergy as a tiddler - happily I grew out of it as I got older. Hope that's the same for your kiddiwinks - I'd hate to be allergic to strawberries now

My DTDs reacted to strawberries when they were toddlers...probably more of an intolerance than allergie in my case...it lead to loose stools

Thanks. I'll make an appointment in the morning to see GP I think.

Yes it is possible -I remember a little boy at DS's nursery had a strawberry allergy
