Can Allergy To Pork Cause Red Blotchy Skin On The Face And The Skin Is Dry In That Area?
Hi there for the past year Ive had red blotchy skin on my face and never had it before. I thought it might be due to saturated fats but ive cut them back huge now. the past few months ive been trying to locate a specific food as a possibility. I thinking i might be allergic to pork products.is this an unusual thing? The blotchy redness surfaces as tiny blemishes sometimes but mostly it goes away and my skin is dry in the affected area? could this just be an allergic reaction to the pork? Ive just started two days ago to avoid pork and my skin seems to be clearing a bit.

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
Your condition is most likely pork meat allergy.In that condition it is better for you to avoid its meat and products which contain it also.I treat such condition with antihistamines and corticosteroids.Calamine lotion for local application on skin gives you soothing effect.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
