test for allergies using citric acid dissolved into water to see if it's that. If it's specific to lemon then like mrrem98 said, lime, any vinegar, any citrus fruit is open to you. I've made vinegrettes with fresh orange, pink grapefruit, even an acidic tomato reduction. It's mainly the acid emulsifying with the oil for lubrication and texture, any other variations are for flavour and nutrition, simple as that.

Lemon juice doesn't agree with my skin and causes spots. I'm not sure if i have the same allergy to limes. what else could i use instead.

@1982FMJ If you're not sure, try lime. Otherwise, you could use red wine vinegar like Jaques said. Or, any kind of vinegar, for that matter.

I personally like my vinaigrettes 2:1. I like vinegar and acidity, always have.
