Hey guys, Ive never posted here but was hoping you could give me some insight.  

 

One of my boys developed a rash behind his knees.  Tonight it really flared up.  Down his arms, all over his face.  Would a food allergy rash take multiple days to develop?  It's red and round and splotchy, but not raised and it doesn't appear to be bothering him.  

Any advice would be appreciated

    If it's a reaction to a food that he eats daily or often, it could take up to 3 days for a reaction. Not all FA reactions happen right away.
