My doctor said it was only a skin rash but whenever it comes it itches so bad when I have jeans on because my legs get hot and there it goes--I'm scratching again.<br/><br/>

Really worth the time to have the cream made up at a special pharmacy.<br/><br/>

I am afraid of its side effects since I've been taking lots of different drugs caused of misdiagnosed in the past one year. Thanks.<br/><br/>

I use it sparely and only with an outbreak.  My information 10 years ago was that you can stop the itching and burning quickly and it works!  If you are itching and can't stand it (no kidding!) one dose (I use 50 mg) will stop the itching within 30 minutes.   I can usually get away with just one dose unless the outbreak is severe or the hidden gluten a large amount.   Thanks for bringing it up!<br/><br/>

I had something similar and waited a month before the second doctor I saw said it could be scabies. They gave me a cream prescription and now I am getting way better.<br/><br/>

Dapsone initially did the job, but it is very dangerous as it causes anemia by destroying your red blood cells. After about 6 months on Dapsone (and recovering from prostate cancer surgery), the Dapsone lost its effectiveness. One year after the dermatitis herpetiformis diagnosis, I was diagnosed with celiac disease and began the gluten-free diet. The rash continued to flare up and really got worse when I began taking Synthroid for low thyroid. I suspected the iodine was aggravating the dermatitis herpetiformis. A desperation visit to renowned dermatologist, Dr. John Zone (Salt Lake City), confirmed that a small percent of us dermatitis herpetiformis folks are also sensitive to iodine and must reduce iodine intake for a while.  After about 2 years on the gluten-free diet and watching my iodine intake, I am doing much better. This information has helped another iodine sensitive dermatitis herpetiformis member of our local New Orleans CSA chapter.<br/><br/>
