Grannie75,
Can you elucidate regarding the keto rash, since I think I may have it. Extremely itchy.....
I have a rash on my stomach and back that seems very red, hot and itchy. I have tried many creams and potions but the best for me is coconut oil and this seems to relieve the itching . It is nowhere near as bad now as it was in the beginning and now just comes and goes, but knowing what it is helps as I know I am doing my diet correctly. I found help on Diet Doctor where many people describe their symptoms and I realised I was not alone. If it gets too much just up the carbs for a few days and it will go away, but it comes straight back again as soon as you drop the carb intake.
