Dh On Toes?

[num1habsfan]

After I had a bath tonight I realized that my skin on my toes was very flaky, almost looking like psoriasis (and I do know the bubble bath I use only really bothers my feet! They are the only part of the body that has trouble with bubble bath)..

So i think I can add one more area of me with DH to my big list they nobody needs to know about.

Anyone else has it on their toes??

Perhaps it isn't DH but eczema. Does it look like all your other dh?

Could your feet be coming in contact with gluten some other way?

I walk around the house barefoot all the time. My dog is a very sloppy eater, and there are usually a few pieces of dog food (full of gluten) on the kitchen floor, which I have been known to step on .

Fortunatly, this hasn't caused me any problem - but it could. If I were getting it on my hands, I would immediately run to the sink and wash them, but it's not as easy to run to the tub and wash my feet .

OMG Kevsmom, I never even thought about that!! (picking it up the floor)...the rest of the house is messy eaters, and dads always complaining about crumbs everywhere...maybe I am stepping on bread crumb and it affecting my feet and setting off the bit of DH/psoriasis. And plus the bubble bath isnt varified gluten-free, but I made sure there is no wheat in it...

Yes, DH on toes, - it's nasty. Been dealing with it for years. Comes from eating gluten, not walking on it. The reaction always starts in the digestive tract.

In my experience DH between the toes and the fingers is awful to deal with. The only worse place is between our legs I hope this clears up soon for you. I also react from skin contact alone, I don't get GI problems but I can tell immediately if something I have been using is gluten filled, my hands peel and every line in my fingers and palms turns white and the skin turns red. I personally would make very sure that bubble bath if gluten-free.
