Is this DH?

I've had this rash on my hand for a good 6 months. This is it looking a lot better than before. It has little blister like pockets that puss if squeezed. And the itch is so intense that it hurts. I have stopped eating gluten, except two accidental encounters a couple weeks ago. I can't get to a doctor to get it checked so was wondering if anyone here thinks it is the celiac rash? Maybe I don't have celiac, but just highly sensitive to gluten?

We don't know. There is no photo and there are many rashes that all resemble each other anyway. Is it only on the one hand?

I tried adding a photo, guess it didn't work. Yes, it is only on one hand.

Can't get an image to work. But at the moment it is flaring up again, very red with tiny bumps/blisters all over.

A hallmark of dh is that it appears bilaterally; that is on both sides of the body ie: both hands, both knees, both arms, whatever. It echoes itself from one side of the body to  the corresponding area on the other side of the body.

Is it typical to have it run down both sides of neck and both sides of spine , down middle crack of scalp and on both eyebrows?  Does oatmeal stuff come out? my doc thinks its pemphigoid...i still dont.

I get full of liquid and i can move the liquid balls under my skin in the forehead or back for example....and the whole thing planes off when i push it out....i have some big areas and some clusters at the bottom of my hair/scalp neckline, but its everywhere pretty much

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten?  I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
