Does this look like DH or Gluten-induced Eczema?

So over the past few months I've developed these red patches on my arms and legs. I'm not entirely sure what they are and they seem like they could be DH, eczema or a mixture of both. They do seem to be focused around the hair follicles in some pictures so there's that. 

My main reason for even suspecting DH is because my sister has celiac's. My mum was diagnosed with IBS and has eczema, and it could be that she has been misdiagnosed but that's another story. 

Another reason is that I've read Celiac's can cause growth problems in teenage years. Although I'm normal height now (though shorter than my older brother and dad), I didn't really start growing until I was 18. 

I should point out that I've never had any gut symptoms myself. Just want to get your thoughts on whether these pictures even look like DH?

Hi Hazawaza,

I am moving your thread to the Dermatiti Herpetiformins forumsubsection where you may get better response.

And welcome to the forum! :)

It looks like folliculitis to me. 

Have you ever asked a doctor and took antibiotics for it?

I sincerely can't tell of it's dh, since i'm trying to figure it out if mine is, but the yellow pimple I can see suggests folliculitis indeed

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
