Can bulking cause allergies to flare up?

Hi all

I’m currently experiencing a bizarre allergy around my lips. I’ve gotten it checked a few times and will be going to the dermatologist for a blood test next.

Anyways I had this issue 2 years ago during a bulk when I ate about 3500 kcals a day, however the symptoms went away during my bodybuilding prep. It was 30 weeks long and during those 30 weeks my allergies were completely gone.

However as I started to get back into a surplus my allergies returned and this time it have been persisting for 9 months. I’ve gotten it checked sporadically but now it’s gotten to a point where it’s getting painful.

Mid 2022 Mild Lip allergies @ bulking to 87kg Early 2023 30 week cut to November 2023 @ 75kg with no flare ups at all Currently experiencing lip allergies @ 90kg

The doctor suspected that I’m getting some allergies relating to my age but she also advised me to try to cut to see if it works for my allergies
