WOW...i know its a few years old...the topic post....but yes this was ALL me...

 

thats why I couldnt figure it at first.....I originally got the big, raised, elongated type OVER AND OVER in the same spot....for months....i showed this to the docs...to no avail....

 

then the clusters....also the description of it eventually looking dried up....its kinda wierd...ones I was trying to save over time....are there, but look funny and old...and not current..

 

then a few months after THAT (where i am now), im not getting the huge ones so much...i am getting little tiny bumply ones...around the neckline and face....still liquid comes out...but these look more pimple like than the other ones...are those the bullous types i guess?  i wish i wish i wish i had known THEN to take pictures...i took them months later..but now what you see are scars...kinda outlines of where they were...i dont think my back will EVER come back....i used to have a beautiful neckline...sadly...i dont think ever again...you see all these vesicle type things....active or not....the outlines are stil there....but back THEN i couldnt get them tested.....but the descriptives from this book are great....i may like to read the whole book.

 

Thank you so much for the info.

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      You might also consider a low iodine diet as iodine is know to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. But be careful with that as well as there are health problems that can accrue from iodine deficiency.

      Hi, Yes, the rash has gone. I still get the itches but there is nothing to see now, apart from a lot of discoloured areas where the rash was worst. Occasionally I get a single lump come up, a bit like hives, but no bigger than a pea and it goes after 24hrs and a steroid cream application.  And yes, giving the gluten-free diet 110%. Very careful about any cross contamination.  This is my fifth autoimmune condition so well and truly on that bandwagon.

      Welcome to the the celiac.com community, @suek54! Is the Dapsone getting the rash under control? Are you practicing a gluten free diet yet? The only known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis is celiac disease.
