susan french 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2017 I tried Dapsone when first diagnosed with DH, but I broke out in a rash. I also can't take sulfa and since this is like artificial sulfa, I couldn't use it. When I was completely gluten free, the blisters went away, but the skin itching and small bumps continue, and have for 7 years. I'm a diabetic so prednisone is no good. I take hydroxyzine, doxepin, and a 5 mg of Xanax, all at bedtime to alleviate the itching. Also use Clobetesol cream on troubling areas. Clobetesol is expensive so sometimes I just use benedryl spray and cream. I don't think the itching will ever completely go away. But I am gluten free.
