Abstract
Kelso1 first coined the term “fixed food eruption” (FFE) in 1996, when describing a fixed lesion triggered by strawberry ingestion. We report the case of a 22-year-old patient with a similar reaction to peanuts and cashews. For the past 2 years, immediately after eating peanuts and cashews, the patient developed a red, raised pruritic wheal and flare on his right inner thigh and left volar forearm at the site of an angiolipoma biopsy scar (Figure 1). The symptoms resolve shortly after taking loratadine, and he has never had any other cutaneous or generalized symptoms with ingestion of these or any other foods.
