Those Red Crazy Looking Bumps...

[seastress]

are they related to celiac disease? Anyone have them? Let me explain.

I was reading a post below where someone was talking about blisters and the purple marks they leave after. I get these. I never understood why. I get them on my abdomen mostly. They are painful, sometimes they have puss other times not, they take forever to heal and always leave a purple mark. Eventually they do go away but it takes months.

Sorry for asking about all of these things but I am just getting lightbulbs going off in my head with the things you all are going through that I am experiencing too that baffle me.

Thanks to all of you who responded to my initial post! I appreciate it!

Please tell me though...those "things", are they related to the celiac disease or just some strange thing I have?

Thanks!

The only skin-related problem I have had thus far- and not since I've eliminated wheat- were welts across my tummy that looked as if I had been whipped. The doctor saw them and said that they were hives.

Jen I can't say for sure that this is my spot as well. But I get them now and again, they can appear anywhere and they leave a purple mark that lasts a long time, and the actual sore does take a while to heal, it will either has puss or not. My husband calls them "one of those spots."

I have thought they have been of late related to accidental gluten consumption. But who know.

They could be DH, you may want to look in the dermatitis herpeformis section and also you might want to post this question there.

The spot you photographed looks a lot like the DH outbreaks I had pregluten free.

My sister and I both have those spots, but on our legs and arms. Ours have never gone away, I have had one on each leg for years, every now and again I nic them with a razor and aggravate them!

I got three on my foot, right on top of the tendons that go to my toes. So they rub all day in shoes, and are conveniently place so as to even rub in flip-flops! This is the last reaction to fade from my glutenings.... takes at least a month. These are itching and hurting like crazy, too, with the sweat and rubbing at work in tennis shoes.
