Dh Question

[shezatrip]

Hi Everyone,

Can you tell me if DH can show up mildly inbetween fingers or on the feet?

My son gets teeny tiny bumps (can barely see them) clear liquid

in them and itch like mad! They come and go, do not spread and do not become

huge.

Can someone have DH outbreaks only once in awhile, or is it continous?

My dad has them so terrible his legs are scarred and COVERED with sores...

He never went to the doctor until he was 83! He suffered with it, and thought

he had a skin ailment from WW2. Very sad he has had to go through this his entire life. It wasn't until i saw pictures and all of his symptoms that I told him what I thought he had and he tested postive for Cel. Anyhow, his aren't anything like

my sons...however, I was wondering if there are different degree's.

Any info appreciated. THX

I'm relatively new to the forum, but was diagnosed with DH last September, and subsequently celiac as well. I don't know anything about Dyshidrosis, but I do know that when I have a flare up, MANY times, it's on/between my fingers. I haven't had sores appear on my feet, but from what I understand if you have DH, the break outs can vary from person to person. Considering that your dad had DH and Celiac, it wouldn't be far-fetched that your son would have it. Have you ever been screened for Celiac? You are predisposed to it now that you know your dad had it. You don't have to present with DH to have celiac, I did, but my brother didn't. He was screened for celiac because I was diagnosed with it...and it turned out he has it. Just something to consider.

I failed to mention in my reply that it's very typical for DH lesions to break out symmetrically - i.e. both hands, or both elbows, etc.
