Does this look like DH?

Yes. It could also be almost anything else. I'm sorry, but we can't tell you much of anything when you just post a photo or 2 & give no details at all. I mean, it also looks like you could have burned yourself or rubbed until blisters formed. We have no idea where on the body this is. Basically you've given zero information.

Sorry I didn't give info. This was near my elbow. It doesn't come up very often. It only comes up near my elbows until recently I had a small part on my back. Starts out as itchy small bumps. The liquid inside appears to be clear. From what I've seen online it sounds like it may be DH. So I was just wondering what y'all thought. I know it's not from a burn or scratch.

Consider getting a celiac blood test.  It is a good place to start and might be easier than getting a skin biopsy  which must be done by a DH-savvy dermatologist.  The blood test can be done by any doctor.

      Advantages vs. Disadvantages of having an official Celiac diagnosis

      By JA917 · Posted

      Question re: life/health insurance: if you're already under these policies, do you have to notify them if you receive an official diagnosis, or is that only for new policies?  I have had two active term life insurance policies for many years that I pay a set amount into.  And my employer covers my health insurance.  So, do I need to let them both know if I do become officially diagnosed?  I'm glad I read this, because that would certainly be marked off in the "disadvantage" box for me!

      My 5 months of Struggle

      By JA917 · Posted

      I'm new here so I'm not sure if I'm allowed to recommend doctors?  But I am in Manhattan and see Dr. Lauren Schwartz at Manhattan Gastroenterology.  I am still in the process of (potentially) being diagnosed and she has been wonderful.  She has experience in Celiac and has a very calming bedside manner.  I feel confident I'll get the right diagnosis with her.  Give her a try if she takes your insurance.  Good luck!

      Feeling ill

      By Whyz · Posted

      Not knowing how long I have to wait for a hospital appointment for the intestine and biopsy seems to make things worse. The thing is if you have headaches you take pain killers, isn’t there anything that I can do?.

      Working in a kitchen with gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum. Can we assume that you've been diagnosed with celiac disease and have been on a gluten-free diet for a while? If so, it sounds like you may be in the super sensitive group, as others here have reported similar issues when working in bakeries, pizzerias, etc. Until you find other work, and perhaps don't have roommates who cook gluten foods, you may need to consider wearing an N95 mask to avoid breathing in any particles.
