Sugar Induced Rash?

#1

Weird thing happened. I had no skin issues whatsoever. But after having a bit of sugar from some cheesecake on Sunday, I now have a rash. It doesn’t itch at all…but it is very bumpy and red.
So, has anyone experienced this sort of thing? I was hardcore Keto for around 7 weeks, ate a bit of sugar—not a lot at all… and wham! end up with a rash?

Just curious to know if the two things might be related. I have had zero changes in my diet, detergents, perfumes, soaps, etc. Very weirded out by this.

I appreciate any input. Thank you!

I’m guessing that the sugar caused your body to quickly dump ketones out of your system. Urine, breath and skin are all ways for it to do this and if the rash is in, ummm, sweaty places that’s probably it.

I’m new to the keto woe (I’m on day 3 atm, so new new) but I researched and researched and found keto because every time I ate something with sugar I developed a painful, red, raised rash in various places.

So while I’m starting keto with skin issues, I’d say sugar induced rash isn’t unusual. or, if it is, at least I can tell you that you aren’t alone.

Mine clears up slowly but it’s been a reoccurring problem for a bit so hopefully yours will clear up fast!

That sounds correct, from a timing standpoint. The rash, though, is on the back of my arms, not under; my shoulder blade area, but not the middle of my back, and around my waist, but only on the back and sides, and on the backs of my legs- but only above the knees.
Very. Very. Weird. So, I’m staying as strict as possible with my diet. Total carbs are under 20 daily. Hoping it will resolve.
Thank you for the input! Much appreciated!!!
