Skin issues while on low carb

I started low carb beg of Feb.

Whilst it could be completely unrelated, since starting, have had rashes on my forehead area, really really bad. My skin seems to have become very sensitive suddenly.. Eg. I got this fitness tracking watch and my skin started peeling.. Have never had anything like this before.
GP surgery won't give an appointment until another 3 weeks.

Wondering if any of you have had skin issues after starting on low carb or know any info on the same

TIA

There was some info about this on the last low carb bootcamp thread.
The dietdoctor low carb website has an article about it. I think it might be called a "keto rash" so might be worth googling that. Smile

Sounds like you might have gone too low on your carbs. Try upping them, with higher carb veg, and see if that helps.
