how long ago did you quit smoking? when some people quit smoking, a rash appears within a few weeks.... its the body purging all the toxins thru the skin...
Hello and welcome.
My guess would be if you just now started seeing a rash and you've been vaping for 15 months, then probably something else. Maybe your laundry detergent. I have that problem when the wife buys the cheap stuff.
Honestly if it's something concerning you, check with a dermatologist.

No. The skin doesn't work like that. Your liver and kidneys remove that stuff from your body, it doesn't come leaking out the skin even when you sweat. And if it does, it's in trace amounts and totally inconsequential. And I've never heard of a rash being a symptom of withdrawal.
What you're experiencing could be something like psoriasis or dermatitis, dermatitis can flare up at even the most minor irritations. The other possibility is you're allergic to something. I'd say it's been long enough vaping to not be anything in the juice, but allergies can come and go for no reason at all. And with allergies it really could be almost anything you're exposed to during a normal day. I'd recommend getting some hydrocoritisone cream from the pharmacy, it's cheap and effective against stuff like this. It's basically normal lotion with an anti inflammatory steroid in it to calm everything down. If it still persists, make an appointment with a doctor to have it checked out. They can give you something stronger to put on it or refer you to a specialist. You can also try some over the counter allergy pills which there are many varieties that all do pretty much the same thing.
Good luck.

Are you drinking extra water? Maybe a visit to your doctor is in order

Could also be a PG allergy. I know if I vape to high a PG ratio I get red dry spots around my nose and chin. Normally a good wash and face cream helps keep it at bay. I try to vape mostly VG and this seems to help for the most part. A good dermatologist is obviously the way to go if it continues to worsen.
My daughter had some dry red circles all over one summer. We washed them with dandruff shampoo. We were told hers was a yeast overgrowth on her skin that caused red dry circular or oval spots. The first thing the Dr gave us was monostat cream. We found the head and shoulders worked for making them go away in about 3 days. Hers was caused by swimming in a pool with too much chlorine and it killed the natural bacteria on her skin so as they repopulate they have overgrowth in spots.
I break out in a rash every time I think of doing physical work 
Nah man, go to a croaker..... Sounds like a possible skin condition developing.

skin conditions are very hard to diagnose in some
cases.
when i switched to vaping after 38 years of smoking
undiagnosable rashes between my ankles and knees
disappeared.

I have been vaping for a couple of years now.. I developed a rash around my neck and on my scalp after we switched to sub ohming. I have psoriasis so at first I thought it was just new rash but it was different than normal. I happened to read a thread on another site about pg allergies so I quit vaping for a day and the rash got a little better. I then switched to a high VG juice and over the course of a week or so the rash disappeared.. I can only vape a 90/10 or higher juice. 80/20 in any amount and the rash will start again. Even over vaping at 90/10 can have my neck itching. Good luck. The cause of rashes can be hard to pin point.
