The last 3 times I have eaten pizza, about half an hour after, the top of my left hand around the knuckles of my index finger and thumb has gone red and burns (you can feel the heat radiating off it). From this site to the upper arm there is a dotted rash almost in a line - does anyone know what this could be? The redness disappears about an hour after and the skin on the hand is quite tender.
Thank you :)

Is the pizza very hot to hold? ;-)
Is it always the same type of pizza?
Has the pizza got chilli in it. If I touch chilli this happens to me.

Ha ha no, the pizza was cold! And no it had no chili, it has been either cheese and tomato or ham and mushroom,
OK so you are allergic to cheese and tomato!! :o)
or ham, or mushroom!!

Or Pizza dough!!

Weird!! ;o)
I suggest that you stop eating pizza...
Most pizzas have tomato so I would try avoiding tomato and see what happens.
Use a knife and fork!
Do you eat tomatos in any other meals? e.g. Salads. And do you then get a reaction?
It could be as scotman says, that it is the tomato that is the problem.
A friend back in my school days was allergic to tomatos and would get blotchy patches on her face when she ate them.
