Could this be an allergic reaction to salt and vinegar chips?
I ate a small bag of salt and vinegar chips about three hours ago, and I've noticed a bunch of small white bumps on the tops of my pointer fingers (just my pointer fingers on both hands). They kind of hurt. I figured it might be the salt and vinegar chips because I was pulling them out with my thumb and pointer fingers, and they definitely weren't there before. I'm also feeling kind of itchy all over, though mostly on my hands and arms. I haven't had a reaction to salt and vinegar chips before, but I haven't had them in many years. I developed an allergy to cat hair that I didn't have before (I get hives) so I figure it's possible to develop an allergy to chips I didn't have before, but I could be wrong.
Any ideas? Could it be an allergic reaction or is it something else? I'm definitely no expert when it comes to this sort of thing so any help would be great.
Actually, now that I think about it I did eat some more about half an hour ago, so I have eaten them recently.
I've got a sort of prickly feeling in my arms too, though not exactly like when your leg falls asleep. If you don't know a possible diagnosis, it would be very helpful if could even just tell me if it's an allergic reaction or not. Thanks! =)

It's possible, some people say they have an allergic reaction to salt and vinegar chips. Read the links for one explanation to an incident which happened un America, another in the UK.
If not milk, most people who do react reckon it's the vinegar that causes it. Easy to check that one.
Ask the pharmacist for an antihistamine, either topical or to be taken by mouth.

I actual have a feeling your mouth has had too lots of them and that's fairly useful to place off for a rapid on a similar time as. The salt and vinegar mixed to burn your mouth as quickly as your mouth ought to not take the burn and now could be contaminated. attempt some vaseline for the chilly sore.
