Anyone get itchy yellow spots? Too much calcium?

[Alexa]

I've been doing Atkins (on and off, to be fair) for quite a while - 3 and a half years.

Sometime if I cheat I get weird itchy yellow spots on my face. I have to just totally leave them alone - they kinda leak and crust over and it's totally gross (sorry!).

It is not just when I cheat, sometims they just appear. I wonder if it is when I drink alcohol. My MIL tells me it is excess calcium.

Anyone ever had these/heard of them?

Hi,

That condition does not sound normal. Have you considered seeing a Doctor?

Hi Mission,

No, because it is totally minor and generally cosmetic! I think I must be allergic to something.

I had wine on Staurday and lo and behold I got on on my cheek the next day. I think I'll have to figure it out by trial and error.

Red and itchy is usually a sign of an allergy...not sure what yellow and itchy would indicate.

I'm allergic to certain cosmetic brands. Especially eyeshadow, I had a bad case once when my eyelids puffed up (quite visibly noticable ), and later cracked/peeled at the surface when it healed. I've found some I can wear, but generally I don't wear much makeup.
