Anyone develop a rash because of LC?

Good morning, 
I've been on the low carb eating plan for the last 11 days as of today and I woke up this morning with what at first I thought might be acne but it occurred to me it actually looks more like a rash. Anyone else develop a rash? I've tried the LC diet before and never had this happen. The problem is, it's difficult for me to pinpoint what's causing it. I've got two medications I've been taking for a while now, but one of those was recently increased to a higher dosage. I also have taken the same vitamins and supplements for months so I don't think it's that. I googled and there were posts out there stating that they had developed a rash one month into LC. Any suggestions on how to make that stop/go away?

And here's a much older post. Maybe something will give you some ideas on how to deal and what to expect.

Recently I had a slightly itchy 3" diameter rash on my upper arm for a week, still have some remnants. No idea what it was. Maybe keto, maybe an insect bite.0
