Does Dh Have To Have Blisters?

I was wondering if DH has to have blisters? I get a raised red rash sometimes especially while I am asleep where my arm might be folded or the skin on my legs is touching on the inside of my thighs. There are no blisters, but could this be DH too? I have the classic blisters behind my knees and on the inside of my elbows sometimes, but I just wondered if the other might be DH as well.

Thanks.

Hi,

My DH has always, until now, come out in the form of small red blistered areas with golden honey centres (sound like an advert for a new candy, doesn't it ?) full of water (?). However they rarely appear inside the joints- and 99% of the time they are on the front of the knees, and outside of the elbows. However I'm coming off dapsone at the moment and a good deal of my body has come out in it- some of which is just raised reddish-purple areas- ie: ankles, feet, behind the knees, hands, head etc. So maybe it could be. For me, the new areas which don't have the honey bubbles- itch- but not as much, though they are painful.

I don't know if this has been any use- hope so.

Steve.

Not always. I know some who just get a rash in traditional areas, some who get it in non traditional areas and my DH always comes out on my face first as blisters and sometimes up by my nose in a red raised itchy burny rash.Then sometimes after that it will go for the traditional areas.

      Thank you Scott - I can’t think of much that’s changed diet wise but I’ll definitely try to see if any of this works and probiotics are a great idea thank you!

      Hello there @maylynn  I'm a slow healer from the UK.  I sympathise.  Despite three endoscopies which showed nothing wrong, I frequently suffered from a very sore stomach, bloating, feeling queasy.   For some time I was taking the wrong iron supplement (Floradix instead of Floravital - the former has gluten in it, but the latter none).  But I would say even very little iron from an approved source made my stomach sore, I think it can be quite irritating. Perhaps that is an issue for you? Oats (the gluten-free pure ones) were an issue for many years (now fine).   Even though my endoscopy findings did not reflect any problems with healing, or any other issues, I self-diagnosed myself with gastritis as it seemed the feeling of nausea and in my case burning in the stomach pointed to it.  I went onto a gastritis/reflux diet and that really helped.   Have a google - there are tonnes online.  That meant avoiding spicy, greasy food, onions, tomatoes, coffee and alcohol.  (Actually, I don't drink, but I did toast someone during that time at a baptism and it set my stomach on fire.)   Instead of drinking strong coffee, I drank water, camomile tea, warm ginger water... so soothing.  I would not go to bed with a full stomach when things were bad, I would let my stomach rest from say 8pm to 8am, which really helped.   My husband and I then decided to buy a new oven and to buy a new dishwasher - we did need new ones anyway.  The new oven had two compartments, gluten goes in one, gluten free in the other.  The new dishwasher was a Miele which does a full rinse with clean water before washing the dishes.  But before I could afford a new dishwasher I would hand wash the dishes and make sure they were really rinsed well, no residue  (unlike our old dishwasher that was really not rinsing well at all). I stopped eating out for quite a few years - I think this is a biggy - although I would have coffee and soft drinks out. Eventually, my levels normalised.  What of the above was the 'silver bullet'?  I am not sure, but finally I did feel a lot better.  Occasionally I will take an over the counter PPI (omeprazole) or a small dose of Gaviscon, but most of the time I don't need them now. I'm not expecting anyone to go to all these lengths, but it could be that one or two of the tips I give you might work.  Don't give up hope! Cristiana

      Yes, it would make sense to go mostly gluten free, since it gives your troubles.

      Yes, I made an effort to eat extra gluten at least 3 weeks before the endoscopy. I probably ate a some amount in the weeks before that. I had diarrhea, which resolved once I cut back after the endoscopy. So I think it would make sense to go mostly gluten free?

      Yay for the normal biopsy! Thanks for the follow up. Were you eating gluten prior to the endoscopy?
