What Causes Red Spots Around The Mouth When Spinach Diet Is Taken?
My 18 month old son gets a very faint red dot or two around his mouth when he eats spinach. He has food allergies and I am well aware of what that looks like, and it doesn't seem the same. the redness goes away in like 5-10 minutes after it appears. Is it most likely just a skin sensitivity to spinach, like maybe acidity or something like that. He has sensitive skin.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that there is a sensitivity reaction to the spinach or any other ingredient in the food.
He can also be checked for allergy or sensitivity to this food since you are aware of his other allergies.
I hope this helps
