Possible milk allergy or what?

My daughter turned 1 in September and since then (when she started drinking cows milk) she got really red bumpy
cheeks I thought it was just teething. But then I looked it up and a milk allergy came up. I've booked her a gp appointment for next week but in the mean time I'll take anyone's thoughts. Attached some pictures

She was formula fed as I feel that way be a follow up question

It could be an allergy but you would have thought you would have seen signs in formula. Were you using comfort milks by any chance?

Is it where the milk touches the skin?

Have they been particularly snotty as my daughter gets a rash on her cheek due to rubbing snot in.

It might be worth popping a barrier cream on the cheeks to protect them from direct contact of milk /snot etc whilst you investigate . My preferred cream is hydromol. I would also keep a food and symptom diary ahead of your appointment so they can see if there's any correlation between symptoms and diet.

No she was on this one, she didn't always have red cheeks, she was born with a couple of stalk bites on her face which have all but faded away now so I wonder if her face is just prone to redness

You can see the stalk bits here. It's probably not related at all and I'm just delusional 😂 but she had a stalk bite between her eyebrows, on her eye lid and one above her lip, also one on the back of her head
