Miracle DH cream, Triamcinolone Acetonide Cream USP, 0.1%

I suffered from dermatitis herpetiformis on and off for 3 years. My last major outbreak was in 2018 when I drank a malt alcohol beverage. Dapsone did nothing for me and I was on it for 3-4 months. My arms were covered in fluid-filled blisters and it was red, rashy, and incredibly itchy. The parts that weren't covered in blisters looked like dry (but oozing) dragon scales where the blisters had ruptured.

I was frustrated because after my outbreak, I went back to being gluten-free, but I wasnt' healing fast enough and it itched so badly. My dermatologist prescribed me Triamcinolone Acetonide Cream USP, 0.1%. It was affordable because I have insurance. My arms were a scary hot mess. In 1-2 weeks, after regular application of the cream, my skin looked normal again. And the itching FINALLY stopped. 

Main point: my gluten-free diet made it possible for my skin to heal so quickly after applying Triamcinolone Acetonide Cream. However, I firmly believe the cream works by stopping the autoimmune reaction. It also made my life much more bearable because it was so good at stopping the itch.

It's a steroid cream & that's why it helped relieve the itch. A stronger, better one is Fluocinonide 0.05% - it comes in ointment or cream & you need a script from your doctor.

      @Rebeccaj, You may choose to get tested to see if you have an allergy to wheat.  That's a different type of immune response to wheat than Celiac Disease.  It's possible to have both.  You may need an Epipen. A histamine release in the sinuses upon being exposed to wheat in wheat allergy can cause a headache.    Talk to your doctor about wheat allergy testing.

      Although sensitivity to gluten varies between individuals, multiple research studies suggest that consuming up to 10 mg of gluten a day is safe for most people with coeliac disease. Wheat flour contains approximately 10% gluten by weight, so this is equivalent to 100 mg of flour, or a piece of wheat bread the size of a small pea. There is a case report of farmers with coeliac disease developing symptoms from inhaling gluten containing dust from cattle feed but that is an extreme example and they were exposed to very high concentrations of airborne gluten over a long period of time. In a domestic situation, unless someone is making dough and putting a lot fo flour into the air, I don't think you will get significant airborne exposure. The thing to watch out for is making sure work surfaces, cutlery and utensils are clean. If you have to share a toaster, get some toasting pouches.

      So? What do you think it will go ahead? Did you partecipate to this trial? what's the result for yuo? Thanks a lot for your answers!

      You might look into wearing an N95 mask when others are creating baked goods with wheat flour in your environment.

      @trents thank you for that information. My parents feel that cooking flour in toaster isn't a thing as its already cooked product before made? but Airbourne particles is my fear. Like I have had symptoms from 6 meters away had to leave massive migraine.
