Dh Questions

[Momtwoboys]

Are the photos in the link being provided to us newbies typical or extreme cases of DH? It sounds like everyone presents in different ways? I have a rash on the inside of my forearms. It starts with small pimples that become rash like. It then becomes dry and the pimples scab over. Could it be DH? Does DH itch, burn and sting when you sweat? This rash does and becomes worse.

TIA

I think that everyone's reaction is unique. Although DH also typically includes oozing blisters - not just bumps. But you never know. Mine were pretty ugly - and excrutiatingly itchy - but did not look as bad as most of the picture on the internet. One thing that also seems typical is that it is a symettrical condition - if you have it one arm, you have it on the other, etc.

I would get up to 10 on my abdomen over a 2 day period and they would last for about a week, clear up, and then come back again. They were tiny, with an extremely itchy oozing blister that would crust over and then ooze again for a couple of days. The top would come off extremely easy.

I also would get a few on my scalp that were extremely itchy, but not did not ooze.

I was 100% gluten free after my daughter went to college, but recently I have been eating out and I am finding now that I will get 1 or 2 now with cross contamination. This is new to me, so I hope this is it.

Hope this helps. Marcia
