What Causes Burning And Itching Feeling In Lips While Eating Apples?

My lips burn and itch when I eat apples. Does that mean I'm allergic. I just started noticing like 3 apples ago if that makes sense, but I didn't know if apple allergies were a real thing, as I really don't know anyone with it. My friend says it is possible, and more likely if you have pollen allergies, which I do have severe pollen allergies so it makes sense. Do I?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain burning and itching sensation of lips after eating apples is definitely due to allergic reaction to apples and it comes under Food Allergies..
Although you are susceptible to allergens like Pollen but it is not necessary that you will be allergic to other things if you have pollen allergy..
The best way to avoid an allergic reaction is to avoid the contact with the allergen..
For ongoing allergic reaction you can take Allegra 60mg twice a day for 3 days..
Do cold compresses over the lips to relieve burning..

Hope this information helps..
