Hi,

She could be allergic to cocoa butter. Flushing, swelling, headaches and rashes are common symptoms of allergic reactions. It is better to avoid them until proven safe. She can get an allergy test done to figure out the allergens and establish the same.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
