Breakouts in my 40's???

Oh my gosh. I thought I was alone in this allergy.
It seems to get worse as I get older.
I don't see my boyfriend everyday, but when I do, he knows if I've been eating peanuts or peanut butter. My face breaks out EVERY time.
I was at his Mom's house the other night and they were eating peanuts. He offered me some and, at first, I turned him down. But, then I said yes and now....
I have the worst breakout I have ever had. It's not a common breakout, it's a huge, painful cyst that I can't get rid of. Of course, right on my face where I can't hide it.
When I was in my 20's, I ate an entire can of walnuts.
I broke out with an excrutiatingly painful cyst at the bottom of my tailbone. That was horrible.
I need to stop "testing" myself to see if allergy went away because it's obviously getting worse.
I'm relieved to know that I'm not alone.
