Keto rash after only 2 days!

[MattBerrysHair]

Oes anyone have experience of this and how would you deal with it?
I've been doing keto since friday. I thought I was lowering my carbs slowly enough by including an apple each day in top of berries with nuts and yogurt for breakfast, and chickpeas with tuna, salad, tomatoes and olive oil for tea last night, but this morning I've awoken to keto rash on my neck, going up onto my jaw and cheek and behind my ear. This seems a bit extreme after only 2 days so I'm reluctant to just tough it out like some online sources suggest, so should I add more carbs for a few days and see if it goes?

My net carbs on friday was 72.1 and saturday 68.2. I really shouldn't be in ketosis yet! I've been peeing buckets and sweating more than usual, and I could drink a swimming pool! I'm keeping my electrolytes up too. It seems such an over the top reaction.

Is a rash a keto thing? I’ve been doing keto for a year or so, I’ve converted lots of my friends and family. I have

Yes, it is a keto thing. A rare one, admittedly, but most keto websites have a bit of info on it.

That doesn't sound like a keto rash to me, if your carbs are that high. It sounds to me like there's some other kind of illness going on there.

(Although I realise you posted this a week ago so hopefully you're better now!)

#@BIWI# thanks for the reply. I think dairy was the culprit.....
