Help With Weird Skin Symptoms

[Marz]

This is quite odd - the past few weeks I've been specifically glutening myself in preparation for endoscope/blood tests. A few weeks into this, I started getting itchy spots on my chest and arms. It would not be associated with a rash or any DH-like blisters, just red skin and intensely itchy. One night the spot on my chest was both itchy and sore at the same time!

Now this afternoon, I noticed 3 bumps underneath my arm, around half a cm each. They weren't itchy or sore at all, but looked very much like the "water blister" like bump that forms with DH. They were surrounded by a reddish tinge on the skin, about a cm around them. After about 30 min the "water blister" like swelling shrank and hardened into a pimple-like bump with a small red patch around them...

Obviously not classic DH symptoms, but maybe someone else has had this before? I wish I had taken a picture, because now it just looks like an ordinary, weird pimple, not the water blister that it was half an hour ago

I don't think it's an insect bite

I don't know, but in the year before I was diagnosed I would get very itchy blister-like bumps on my fingers and then on the inside of my forearm. Never anything like that before or after--very odd.

After I went gluten-free, at first I was very itchy all over--especially my back and arms. I remedied that by switching to "free and clear" type laundry detergents and mild personal care products. I've had to switch to unscented now too.
