What Causes Itchy Lumps On The Skin While On Curcumin?
I started taking curcumin (Thorne Resarch Meriva 500-Sf) and I started to get little bumps on my skin and very itching. Could I be allergic to curcumin or is this just a coincidence and I may be allergic to some food I ate or lotion/soap I used, although, I didn t eat any new foods or used any new lotions or soaps.

If you think you have got the rashes after starting it, maybe it is the cause of allergies. what you can do is stop the consumption of the same and see if rashes subside. If it does then that's the cause. And avojd future intake. If it doesn't you should try the same with any of the soap or lotions you have been using at the time.
