What Causes Rashes On The Body After Taking Activia Yogurt?

Posted on Wed, 31 May 2017

Question: I ate Activia Yogurt for about 3 weeks. 1 Week ago I had the first rash on my face. It looks like poison ivy, but it is not. It starts like a litte pimple and turns to quarter inch dark red size. Could it be probiatic / bifidus bacteria in this yogurt? Is the rash dangerous?

Brief Answer:
Please upload an image

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. I would insist you to upload an image of the rash. It will help me to ascertain the cause. But I am quite certain that the rash is not due to the probiotic Lactobacillus bifidus bacteria in the yogurt. I doubt if the rash is 'dangerous' but can comment further after checking the image. I will wait for your response.

Let me know if I could help further.
