Hi!

This is the 3rd time I have done Atkins, and the 1st time I have ever experienced a problem.

Last week, I entered Ketosis and noted a rash on my hands and wrists.

It looks like Keratosis Pilaris.

It is worse in the early evening than it is first thing in the morning or mid-afternoon. It also seems to improve with an increase in water intake.

It does not itch.

Antihistamines and Hydrocortisone Cream makes it appear less red, but it does not disappear.

It looks painful, but it is not.

It is localized on my hands and wrists.

It is so weird.

Has anyone experienced something similar whilst in Ketosis?

Thanks in advance!
