Can a exclusively breastfed baby have a skin allergic reaction to a food consumed by the mother?

It is unlikely for a exclusively breastfed baby to have a skin allergic reaction to food consumed by the mother. The first step should be to check for possible irritants like soaps and detergents. If the rash persists for more than 3 days, it is recommended to visit a pharmacy for advice from a pharmacist on how to proceed.
