WE normally cook and prepare DD's food ourselves but my OH gave her some of our Tesco lasagne to take to childminders for lunch yesterday. As she was eating it red spots and blisters appeared round her mouth. looked at ingredients - all looked fine.
Worried she has nut allergy?

tomatoe in it? My DD often responds around her face to certain type of tomatoes in food.
She also reacts to fresh pineapple in the same way - but not all tomatoes, so more of a tomatoe sauce than fresh so sometimes it can be a certain ingredient, but cooked in a certain way!

My DD's would sometimes get red spots and blisters from tomato sauce - maybe it's just sensitivity towards tomatoes?

Hmmm it did have tomato in it - maybe the sauce had something in it x

DS2 also had this reaction to cooked tomatoes as a child, no problems now he's grown up. :)

Could also be Hand Foot and Mouth disease (no relation to foot and mouth!). Highly contagious and passes round toddlers really quickly.

Seen as though everyone else has already mentioned tomatoes I thought I'd mention vinegar!

For ages we thought ds1 was allergic to tomatoes (sauces etc rather than fresh) after getting blisters around his mouth and his face turning purple and swelling up.

But one day it happened really bad when eating mayonnaise and we finally realised it was the vinegar.

wow- thankyou apixie- both my sons get red lumps and rash around their mouths and i thought it was tomatoes but you are right it is the vinegar-as he too had mayonnaise on a tiny bit of my sandwich the other day, i spent ages thinking how did that happen to him as he had no tomato- my mystery is solved x
