Balls of fluid

I never see this as a symptom from others and wonder about it.

Does anyone have balls of fluid under their skin that they can roll around? And are pushing their way out, thus forming the blister?

I have burn and itch and balls that then squish right out, but they won't go back the other way.  Blood comes out too lotsa times.

 

And both sides of neck and base of scalp alot.

Sometimes the ones on my upper back itch and hurt so bad, I dig into the skin to squish them out to relieve it.  But other times they just itch a little and not enough to bug me.

But they always burn days before.  But its not like individual blisters always, its like planes of liquid coming to the top and wanting out and forming balls.

 

I just dont get it.  Its every single day.  And i've tried to be gluten free, but no its not been hundred percent, but still.

I am trying to do this without dapsone since no one will give it to me.

I am not a doctor, didn't you say in a previous post that your doctor suspected another autoimmune disorder,  pemphigoid?   I read that there is a specific antibodies test for this condition.  Maybe that will help with a diagnosis.  If negative, then you could assume you have DH which requires a super strict gluten-free diet. (I went back and read your horrible diagnostic quest.)

If you are gluten free, then study up on the gluten-free diet. Take a very strong position by not eating out and eating whole foods (no processed) as recommended by GI experts dealing with patients who have suspected refractory celiac disease.  

My heart goes out to you.  I hope someone else might have better input as I do not have DH.

      @Scott Adams Thank you so much for this thoughtful and encouraging reply 💛 It really helps me feel less alone navigating all of this! I’ve definitely been strict gluten-free, but I’ll admit — in the beginning, I honestly knew nothing about cross-contamination 😅 so it’s very possible my gut is still healing from that. I feel very abnormal because I am not a typical celiac or a typical Crohn's, so it makes me feel very stuck.

      Hi still the same unfortunately, they had to cancel my colonoscopy due to my trapped nerve , I'm awaiting some kind of scan , it was the nurses who  told me to refuse and asked a docter , and I was told to cancel and go back to my consultant , I think because my sciatic nerve is compressed between my herniated discs , the prep was enough I could handle , but the colonoscopy itself , they advised me to seek something different ,due to the position I had to be in and the movements , so I will update Wen I know more , thankyou for asking appreciated 🤗

      It sounds like you're navigating a complex situation with your celiac disease, and it’s understandable to feel confused by the GI world! While celiac disease typically affects the duodenum and proximal small intestine, it’s possible for inflammation to extend to the ileum, especially in cases of more severe or longstanding damage. Since your tTG-IgA remains elevated despite a strict gluten-free diet, this could indicate ongoing healing or subtle gluten exposure. The ileal inflammation might still be related to celiac, though it’s good your doctor is ruling out other conditions like Crohn’s, given the nonspecific biopsy findings. Some people with celiac do report ileal involvement, particularly if they have refractory disease or delayed healing. Keeping close follow-up with your GI and possibly revisiting your diet for hidden gluten sources could help. Hang in there—it’s a journey, and you’re doing great by staying proactive!
