Earlier I had a persimmon – a really ripe, juicy Hachiya persimmon. It was so ripe and juicy I mostly ate it with a spoon. But at the end I had to suck off the remaining jelly off the peel by holding it with my fingers.
Then I noticed later a small red area of irritation on my thumb. I don’t know of anything else that could have triggered it except the persimmon.
I read that persimmons can in rare cases cause contact dermatitis. So perhaps that’s what this is. Its not really a big deal. Its just a very small area. Also my mouth did not become irritated, only a small spot on my thumb for some reason.
