8 Month Old Child, Tried Creamed Corn For The First Time, Red Spots On Face. Allergic Reaction?

my son is turning eight months old...last night we tried creamed corn for the first time from a can for a table food. within a 1/2 hour, we noticed little red dots underneath the skin on his face . He doesn t have any other symptoms. They spots are still there today. Could this be an allergic reaction and should we call the doctor?
