Why Do I Get Red Rashes And Skin Irritation Whenever I Eat Drumstick?
Whenever I eat drumstick I get some red raches and irritation in some part of my body’s skin. From childhood I’m eating drumstick but I have never got this kind of raches or allergy but for past 3 years I’m facing this problem. I would like to know the cause of my problem

Hello,
Since you develop symptoms of allergy when you eat drumsticks, you should avoid eating it. Get clinically examined by a dermatologist. Get done allergy tests. If you continue to have such symptoms, you will have to take medicine / anti-allergic medications. Allergy can happen at any age with no prior history. It is difficult to know why the body reacts in this way.
You can apply ointment hydrocortisone on the areas affected so that itching reduces. Do not touch or scratch as it can cause dark spots / marks. Applying ointment Soframycin also gives relief. You can take antihistamine at bedtime for three to five days so that the allergy symptoms come under control.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
