Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic and thank you for writing to us.
You need to provide a bit more detailed history and a complete list of foods that seem to cause a rash/redness of the skin on your upper back.
Do you get any symptoms of facial redness?
Any tingling of the lips or itchy/scrathy throat after you eat any foods?
Were any tests done to determine your allergies or sensitivities?
Specific IgE blood test to milk, wheat and any other offending food should be done to exclude sensitivity, however this seems unlikely.
Try to avoid too much fizzy drinks, and see if the same happens with cold milk.
Best Wishes.
