Not Sure If This Is Dh... Thoughts?

[GravStars]

Okay, about two years ago I started having really itchy red bumps on the backs of my legs, usually only one or two at a time. Sometimes they would be pus filled, sometimes just seemingly red (although its possible I scratched the pus off before noticing what they originally looked like). Then one day I had these small pus filled bumps on the backs of both hands. They itched but not terribly. This healed up after a couple weeks.

Now for about the past year I have had itchy red bumps on the sides of my upper arms as well. Again, there aren't a lot, just a few at any given time and they itch quite a lot, though it comes and goes. This morning there was one single small clear pus filled bump on my left pinkie finger, but so far it doesn't itch.

Not sure what's going on here. Could this be DH? Keep in mind I am an undiagnosed celiac and I have no job or medical insurance right now so going to the doctor is currently out of the question (I will go when I can), just curious to hear what people think?

It does sound like it could be DH, or perhaps something else gluten-related. The pimples typically associated with DH are often said to be tiny, pointed ones, with a red rash around it. However, not everyone on this board seems to get this exactly, so I suspect there can be more variation to it than the "textbook case".

Other things can cause a rash too though, such as nightshades, corn, etc.
