He feels fine in himself didn’t even know he had it till I saw it. No itching, no known allergies no other symptoms can anyone say what this might be or what we should do?

My husband had this happen three times. We eventually worked out he's allergic to ground ginger.

My exh got that when he drank tonic water. Turned out he was allergic to quinine.

CustardySergeant · 14/12/2019 22:08

Are the red areas hot?

Marleyisme · 14/12/2019 22:08

Is it a new wine he hasnt had before

Likethebattle · 14/12/2019 22:08

Happened to DH once. He went right red, I actually thought he’d been for a sunbed (unlikely)

TheClausSeason · 14/12/2019 22:08

Scarlet fever? Is his tongue bright red?

Onebrokentoe · 14/12/2019 22:09

Looks like urticaria.

dementedma · 14/12/2019 22:09

I also suspect an allergy. Some multivitamins can cause this..it did with me.

Tolleshunt · 14/12/2019 22:09

Has he taken any medication? Looks like a medication allergy to me.

Looks like urticaria (hives). I get EXACTLY like this with stress.

rosy71 · 14/12/2019 22:10

Was the wine one you haven't had before? Could be an allergy to a particular type.
