Keto Rash
Hi Everyone!
About 2,5 weeks ago I started doing keto in the hope it would help with my chronic migraines.
Since about a day or 2 my back is itching and now I also developed bumps/welts on my back and in my armpits (after sweating more yesterday too), so I'm afraid I've developed keto rash. This also developed after I started using MCT oil, not sure if that's coincidence or if that helped it get along.
I plan to up my carbs to about 50g for a while (although I'm afraid that won't do much for my migraines).
I read other posts, and that for most people it will go away after upping their carbs or even just on their own (or after drinking dandelion tea), but online I read it can leave permanent discoloration and couldn't find too much about that.
So what are your experiences with keto rash? Did it leave discolouration, and if so, did it fade completely?
And for people who upped their carbs, were you able to go back into ketosis without the same problem or did it return?
I really want to give this a good try because the first week of this diet I had 3 headache free days (which is a lot for me) but the second week I still had a migraine every single day. So I want to figure out if this works but don't want to risk permanent marks if it doesn't...
