Low carb rash

[ashleep 22]

About 2 weeks ago I got a rash that is on my arms, hands, legs and stomach. I went to the dr and he said to take an antihistamine and have me a Rx for a steroid cream. It's not going away. I read that when you go through fat loss and in ketosis, the toxins are being released at a rapid rate which causes the itchy rash. Has anyone experienced this and how long does it last??? I'm going crazy, not only from the itching, but my arms and legs are so ugly looking!

Wow I don't know much about why or whatever but I just posted a thread about the same thing! My rash is on my arms, elbows, and shoulder. I don't know why and I been putting hydrocortisone cream on it but after reading this will be making an apt for my doctor.

I'm going to my homeopathic dr and getting an ionic foot detox...hopefully that will help! Hope you get it sorted out too!

I am 5 1/2 weeks post op and I have a similar problem too. I've been having a rash with small raised bumps on my shoulders, upper arms, back and lower legs. Drives me bonkers and itches alot, wakes me up. I was worried I had gotten into mosquitos, ants, chiggers or maybe even bed bugs on a recent trip. I've had this rash for at least 2 weeks...I'm relieved to read that I'm not the only one having this issue! I never even thought it could be a response to my surgery. I'm also having pimples on my face like a teenager and I'm 51 years old....now if my body only looked like a teenagers I wouldn't complain...but hey. LOL

My friend told me Lavender and Roman Chamomile essential oils help with rashes. Also pure coconut oil.

I had the same thing at two weeks but luckily only on my stomach. At first I thought it was cellulitis! I had to get a script for the itching and finally went away about 1.5 weeks later

I'm only three days post op and I have one on my stomach.

I am so glad to read this! Oh my gosh! I have been going crazy wondering how I got this rash! I have a small rash on each upper arm/elbow area! Seems to have gotten a little bit better. 2 weeks post op today.

When I was doing the preop diet my face neck arms broke out. It must have been hives but it looked like little pimples. Getting the Iv for surgery cleared everything up. So more Water was my answer

I went to the dermatologist today because I've had the rashes for 2 weeks and its spreading to my chest and belly. They were stumped and had to do a biopsy. I hope it goes away soon!

Ugh I can't get into my doctor for a week. Mine is literally just on my arm and shoulder. Had a couple on my elbows but went Away. I'm so frustrated with it. It is disgusting! Nothing is working. :/

[ashleep 22]

I totally feel you! Mine keeps spreading.

I'm four days post op and noticed yesterday a rash all over my stomach spreading around the sides. It doesn't itch (yet?) but it's ugly and I don't want it to spread or cause other problems. I'll try an antihistamine first, hopefully that will help! Glad to know I'm not alone!
