Is this a food allergy? (cantaloupe)?

About four months ago I noticed a tiny little bubble on my top lip. I gently scratched it and went about my day. By that night my whole top lip was covered in tiny bubbles that just kind of oozed and made my lip look slightly swollen. I had poison ivy about a week before and was told that once it gets into your blood stream in can show up again on irritated skin. I assumed that this is what it was.
About two weeks ago I felt it come back on the top corner of my mouth. It only lasted a day. Yesterday it came back full force. I thought this was a little strange for poison ivy to last so long so as I was thinking I realized that the last two times it happened and possibly the first, I had eaten cantaloupe. This most recent time, I took about two bites because it tasted funny and I threw it away.
I have always known that I have a slight allergy to cantaloupe because it will make the back of my mouth itch at times. But can it make your lips swell with tiny, oozing bubbles?
Best answer:
It sounds very much like an allergic reaction.
AVOID CANTALOUPE!
If you experience these symptoms again, take Benadryl (diphenhydramine) and put hydrocortisone on the sores.
You should consider getting allergy tests to determine what you are allergic to. You may find some surprises.
Good luck to you!
