Can I Include Protein Supplements In Weight Loss Program?
I recently started a weight loss program and is geared to protein. Each day I have 3 protein supplements in between meals. Healthwise is the name of the product. I noticed a rash under my breast and armpit and it has gotten progressively worse. Then yesterday I broke out in little red whelps on my chest. Could this be an allergic reaction?

it could be an allergic reaction to the supplement or also to a new deodorant or some new piece of clothing. If you are exercising as a part of your weight loss then the fitted clothes in turn can cause chafing and lead to rashes. If you stop the supplement and see that the rashes do not progress then it most probably is the supplement otherwise it may the otther causes that i have listed.
