red mark between eyes = allergies?

does your child with food allergies have a red patch between his / her eyes?

so DS1 (3.5 y/o) is allergic to milk/eggs/nuts (outgrew soy and sesame). Since he was a baby he's had this red patch between his eyes.  When he's reacting to something, it becomes really red.  I though it was only my son..

now DS2 (1.5) was recently tested and was negative for the top 8 (YAY).  But we are starting to suspect an allergy b/c he is getting massive eczema and blisters (Same as DS1 had as an infant) but no swelling thankfully! Yesterday we noticed he's getting a red patch between his eyes. He has never had this before but started when his eczema started.  He has also started eating a lot more food so we're worried that he's allergic to something weird.  We just removed rice and tomatoes.

Anyways, does your child with food allergies have a red patch between his / her eyes.  it can be very faint or very deep.

    DD has a mastocytoma on her knee.  It developed when she was 4 or 5 months.  It is filled with histamine cells, so when it gets irritated it flares bright red.  Sometimes its from the heat, eating something, or environmental al

    thanks everyone.  i guess it might be something that my family has.  it's funny that both of them have it.  It usually very faint. But i have seen it bright red on DS1 before and now DS2 has it.  We originally though it was a birthmark
