Rash Just On Face? Could This Be Dh?

[pamelaD]

Hi to all,

I was diagnosed with celiac disease and have been gluten free since end of Feb 2004. Gastro symptoms under control, thank goodness.

Now a new problem: I have a rash on my face. I thought it started when I was mowing the lawn and brushed my cheek against a bush.... got a rash there. But since then I have had a bumb or two per day break out: large bumbs like mosquito bites that really itch. They take a few days to shrink and not itch, but still are visible of long after. I have never had a problem with acne and have lupus and it's not the charactaristic lupus-rash either!

I guess my question is: could this be DH? I thought DH was all over and small-ish bumps.

I have an appmt with a dermatologist in a few weeks...

Thanks,

Pam

Pam, My DH looked like little blisters that would raise up and them break and form a crusty scab. If the scab was over a joint it would break open and weep constantly. It was extremely itchy and sometimes painful. It took me 2 and 1/2 years to clear most of it up after becoming gluten free. Shirley

Could it be poison ivy or poison oak or something like that???

Scroll down to figure 8.

There are also photos of additional types of skin disorders associated with celiac disease. Good luck!
