Can Pineapples Cause Allergic Lumps?

Good Evening. My three year old daughter experienced small bumps to appear on her knees and bottom yesterday and I thought maybe ants attacked her at daycare but the teachers think it may be an allergic reaction to pineapples (in which she had for lunch). Could pineapples cause the bumps? Also, the bumps are not red or have pus.Please advise.Thank You.
