Hi...By what you quote I feel she's allergic to some ingredient in the particular formula. But luckily she's not having any other problem like bloody diarrhea or vomiting. The other possibility is a contact dermatitis which is entirely different from food allergy. But I suggest you shift over to another different formula.
