Weird rash

Hi, sorry if this is TMI. I started keto around just over a month ago - I had my doctor inform me that I have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and I’m trying to reverse it through diet and exercise. So far, it’s going fairly well - my complexion is clear, my energy is up, and I’ve lost about 7kg.

However, the other day I woke up with a weird rash covering a large patch in the centre of my back. At first I thought it was contact dermatitis, but I was struggling to think of anything odd I had come into contact with on my back. I did a bit of research and found out that occasionally this kind of skin reaction can happen on keto.

I was just wondering about if anyone else has experienced this and how they managed with it? I am also planning on going to see a dermatologist but wanted to ask on this sub to see if anyone had any suggestions 😅
