Blisters On Fingers

[susiek]

I am learning more and more about this celiac disease! And with 20/20 hindsite am wondering about symptoms I have had my entire life!

I've gotten a rash on and off since my early 20s. In the spring, usually. It itches and oozes.

BUT my blisters seem to be almost under the skin. They aren't on top, so there are no bumps. Almost like the top wall of the blister is flush with the top layer of skin.

My doc and derm have been stumped...Is this DH?

It could be DH. Has the dermatologist done a biopsy on your skin? They can tell if it is DH if they are looking for it...

I get those, sometimes under the skin (and they hurt), or sort of on my skin and visible. If I don't open them and remove the top layer of skin, they become hardened and more painful, and never go away. I get that problem after getting glutened. I KNOW it is connected to gluten, but the dermatologist claimed that I am wrong, and it is just eczema. Whatever.

I find though that a homeopathic eczema cream called 'Execalm' is helpful (after opening those blisters). It also helps on the other rashes I get.

Right...they kept pumping me full of antibiotics and topical creams saying it was ATYPICAL ECZEMA.

Yeah,,,,naybe cause its not. Sorry if I could snippy...but since going gluten free my skin has cleared up, the blisters on my face gone....although I am still elarning so once in a while I get accidentally glutened and I get some on my head or a spot on my hand and after I feel better they go away.

Try thr diet first before a biopsy....its comes down to what you're comfortable with. I myself...Unless something doesn't make me feel better....I am sick of doctors trying to make me just another procedure.

My GI (now I need to find a new one) said...."Pish posh....I really don't care if the diet has made you feel better, I'm going to tell you to go off it....but that with a blood test don't mean you have celiac"
