nomnomNW Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Hi all, First off, I am on day 9 of my Whole30, going onto day 10. I noticed over the past 2 days that my skin texture on my face is feeling rougher. I noticed today that I have patches of TINY red bumps. They do not itch. Has anyone gone through a period where they have skin rashes and/or bumps? I do not have any known food allergies, nor have I eaten anything completely new to my diet before. Thanks!

Wellis Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Hey there- Woke up day 3 with bumps down my arms...not sure if it is bug bites or the Whole30 consequences...My throat hurts too. Lymph nodes swollen. I am in the same boat, not sure if it is food allergies or a bug just bit me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Strathdee Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 nomnomNW - THAT is not a usual reaction to Whole30. First thing: are there any new foods in your diet in the last 10 days? New lotions or makeups? New cleaning products or laundry detergents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennyw Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I am on day 3, but last night got a little bit of rash on my arms. I had used a new body wash, thinking it was that. But, then in my Day 3 daily email this morning, there was mention of detoxing...acne, rashes, increased allergies. Still feeling itchy tonight, took some Benadryl, curious about it coinciding with changing my eating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am having the exact same problem. I woke up on day 10 and my facial skin that used to be so smooth is not rough with bumps on it, at first it did not itch but now it is itchy me like crazy:( Did it ever clear up for you? I took an antihistamine an it stopped the itching, bumps and rough skin still present. I am wondering is my body detoxifying itself still? Would love to hear if it ever improved for you?

arapp Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I have little bumps too! It's so weird. They're mostly in my temple area on both sides - not itchy or red, definitely not acne. Have changed nothing besides my diet. Has yours improved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike555 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 My wife is going through these symptoms on day 10 as well. Does it clear up??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elana Finkel Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I am definitely also experiencing the itching symptoms, but instead of a rash I am experiencing a major increase of facial acne. It's really uncomfortable! Is this normal? (Day 8). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dianne m Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I'm on day 11. Last night my forearms started itching like crazy while watching tv. I used an anti-itch lotion and it helped a bit, but today, the itching back in full force and nothing is working. I also notice red bumps and it appears I must have scratched during the night, bc it's all very irritated. I have made a point to drink at least the recommended amount of water for my body weight (if that matters). There really isn't anything I've eaten in the last 11 days that I wasn't already eating - just eat a lot more of some things than I used to (avocado, olives, eggs). any ideas? thanks.

arapp Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Hi everyone, I wanted to give you an update. My skin never bounced back even after Whole30 was over. I finally went to my dermatologist and she gave me new prescriptions/regimen that cleared it up. I am 28 and she said that is a very common time for skin changes for women, particularly those that have had clear skin their whole lives. Good luck to you all!
