mouth to skin. it's not like i break out whenever he touches me, that's not the case. it's only mouth to skin contact that makes me get an irritation. 

I'm going to need a lot of Claritin.

hahaha, okay, don't get me wrong..I should have specified a little more. I get a reaction when he kisses my skin!!! i can kiss him on the mouth all i want to and be perfectly fine. It's just when his mouth interacts with like,..my face or neck.. then i will get a rash or hive. 

We both use the same toothpaste. Wouldn't i have a problem with it when i use it?? And we both use mouthwash. He is a very clean person, so I have a doubt that this would be the problem. 

And no, i don't think it's a psychological thing. I get hives, I can't turn it off my telling myself to think that i don't.

hahah sorry! He wont be going anywhere just because i have a small reaction.

Thanks for all of your help..

I am not allergic to any foods at all. I am only allergic to Penicillin.  He never wears chapstick, and if he does, it's because he just kissed me and mine rubbed off on him.. We both eat the same foods...i'm just baffled. But, thanks for your input and suggestions!

Hey!
  I am allergic to my boyfriend, and I am trying to figure out what exactly I am allergic to.  Whenever my boyfriend kisses me I break out in hives/rash/welts etc.. It's nothing huge. The irritation will fade in 20 to 30 min,  but it's itchy and bothersome.  We have found that I only have a reaction on my face, neck, and arms. I don't wear any body lotion so we have eliminated that.  It is only when he kisses me!  I have had him switch shampoos, soaps, shaving gels, everything and the reaction still happens.  I even had his father kiss my face to see if it was a family thing. Nope, just the boyfriend. I have no other allergies other than penicillin.  I think it is something in his saliva because I can't think of anything else we can change that we haven't.  I have never had this happen with anyone else.  Please help me! I will appreciate any feedback that I get. Thanks.
