Can Watermelon Cause Allergic Itching On The Body?

II am diabetic. I eat cantaloupe, blueberries, apples and have never itched after having them. Strawberries break out my face so I quit eating them. Too much Vitamin C for me. I have had watermelon the last few days and I'm itching on my upper back terribly. I've taken a benadryl to see if it will help. Is it possible I could be allergic to watermelon? Does it have that much sugar to affect me like this? I have noticed that I have been going to the bathroom a lot these past few days. Could I be losing too much fluid and getting dehydrating that could be causing the itch? Look forward to your reply. Thanks.

Hi,

As you explain the history it might be an allergic reaction to watermelon. But the frequent urination is related directly to the sugar blood levels or probably you have eaten a lot of watermelon.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
