Hello,
A blister formed on my arm, just a single blister that doesn't itch. When I first saw it, I tried to remember if I burned myself, because there was a little rash by it. Now it's just a blister. I've read older posts about it, I don't remember the name of the condition.
Has anyone else had this recently? I made an appt with a dermatologist. I wonder if it's another auto-immune condition or because I've been glutened a little lately.

I don't need any responses to this. I went on-line again and found the exact name of the condition.
I'll wait to see what my dermatologisit thinks. The blister broke on it's own last night and looks flat now.

You may have DH. Your plan to see a derm is a good one. If they do a biopsy to look for DH make sure they are biopsying the area beside the blister not the blister itself.

I apologize I meant to add a new post. It's obvious I am new at this.
