Hi there, 

Can someone give me some in sight on this please. I have this itchy red rash on my elbow for about 2 weeks now. It had popped up small then got bigger. Something like this popped up last year around summer time but I generally thought it was a spider bite but its not. I put hydrocortisone on it but it only lasts but for so long. Now this time around its gotten a little worse. Can anyone tell me what this is?

Welcome!  

Celiac disease can cause many rashes, but the most notable is Dermatitis Herpetiformis (DH).  It is usually bilateral (both sides of the body).  The only way to know for sure is to get a skin biopsy.  It can not be diagnosed visually.

As cycling lady said this is something to ask to get biopsied. Do you have any Celiac's in the family? 

I don't see any bumps in the photo but my experience is the burning red elbow begins first then the insanely itchy bumps begin. 

Good luck ?

      I have not made my own juices but have made my own granola copycat recipe from Trader Joes Turmeric ginger granola. Have you made your own juices? blending vs cold pressed what is better?
