(L27.2) Dermatitis due to ingested food

Dermatitis due to ingested food is a condition in which a person develops an allergic reaction to a food they have consumed. symptoms can include redness, swelling, itching, and hives on the skin. this type of dermatitis is caused by an ige-mediated immune response and can be triggered by any food, including those that the person has previously been able to eat without a reaction.

Dermatitis due to ingested food is caused by an immune response to food allergens that have been ingested. this response leads to the release of inflammatory mediators, such as histamine, which cause the skin to become red, itchy, and inflamed. in some cases, the skin may also blister or develop rashes.
