Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Yes, food allergies can cause itchy rashes as described by you. Citrus foods, yogurt, milk products, beans are common food items causing allergies. So at present take antihistamine (levocetrizine or fexofenadine) and anti allergic (montelukast) combination. Apply mometasone (steroid) cream on lesions. These will subside your skin rashes. Get done detailed food allergy testing to identify foods which are allergic to you and try to avoid them in future.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
