I posted a couple links in your other thread that may help.

It does look like how mine presents. It also has a stinging itch- severe itch and takes about 2 weeks for it to finally heal. Sometimes turns purple in color and leaves a colored mark but eventually fades away. Mine also come back in the same place and on the adjacent side of the knee.  I have been gluten free for about 3 years so it does not come up anymore. Sorry for the late response.

Thank you. I used to get a breakout on my hand and it would blister and turn purple before going away. When I was a teen the doctor tried to tell me it was a type of herpes, but married for over 35 years and having 5 children and 10 grandchildren no one else has ever got it. If it was herpes, it would be contagious. I didn't know about DH or Celiac back then. It hasn't broken out since I've been gluten free. But I don't know what this one thing on my back is. It sure itches. I did take regular communion at church last Sunday because I forgot to get the gluten free one at the back and didn't want to not take it. That's the only thing I can think of. It's such a small area that's broke out, though.

The only thing that looks like that and itches is DH in my mind. You can still have breakouts even if your gluten free, I have read several others on the show forum saying that. I’m not sure anyone really knows why. You could have ingested gluten and iodine somehow. Remember I’m no expert, but that does resemble how mine comes up.
