skin reaction to strawberry jam!

Not sure if best to post here or on allergies but as I'm not sure it is an allergy thought I'd start here!

Twice this week my dd (16 months) has had strawberry jam on bread/toast and both times, after I've wiped off the jam off her chin there has been a pink mark on her skin (about the size of a 50p) which lasts for about an hour and then disappears. She's eaten jam and strawberries before and not had any reaction. Just wondered if anyone's dcs had had a similar reaction or if anyone knows what it could be?

She's also been ill for the last three weeks with various things - constipation, tummy ache, lethargy, very clingy and generally not herself (but that's another story!) - but not convinced it's anything to do with this.

Thanks very much.

Strawberries are strangely allergy-inducing. Quite a common allergy.
