How to cure food allergy and food intolerance?

I come out in a rash when I eat some brands of chocolate - the more expensive sort - but do not when I eat the best known brand on the market in Britain. Does this mean I have a food allergy or is this an intolerance?
Rashes are typical of allergic responses. There may be some kind of oil or emulsifier in the higher end chocolate that is not present in the more common brands. That is what I would suspect.
What’s the difference between a food allergy and a food intolerance?

An allergy is a disorder of the immune system that is a form of hypersensitivity. Allergies cause someone (when exposed to an allergen) to go into anaphylactic shock.
Food intolerances are kind of a "junk drawer" of food hypersensitivities that aren’t allergies (so, not immune disorders), for example lactose intolerance. Lactase, the enzyme that digests lactose, is underproduced and so the lactose isn’t digested, causing gas (among other things).
Food sensitivities are a wider category because they are a plethora of reasons and reactions, while an allergy is the same basic idea each time.
