So true! I feel like we really have no idea how some things can affect us in other areas. At least, the rash isn't on my face... That would be even more miserable. Hoping this clears up soon.

I had a similar rash on my arms and hands 2 days after surgery for a couple of days.  I suffer from cold urticaria (cold hives) and thought it was that.  Maybe it was the release of toxins in my body.  Mine cleared up so I didn't think anymore of it.

You poor thing!  That looks miserable!  I have had hives before due to an allergic reaction to antibiotics and what you are describing where you scratch and it gets puffier, sounds like hives.  Hope you get better soon!

Well... I went to my 6 week post op appointment today. I talked to my surgeon about the rash I have on my arms and he confirmed that it could very well be from eating low carbs. Fat it being broke apart and this releases toxins that have been stored. He said he sees this often. I had never heard of this before.. so weird.

I have had it for about a week and I am one day shy of 4 weeks post op. Did your doctor tell you how to treat it effectively?
