Lines Across Cheekbones?

I'm 22, and I've recently noticed some cut-like lines across the tops of my cheekbones. They're pretty far from my eyes, on the top of the bones. Has anyone else developed these? I really don't think they're due to aging or not taking care of my skin, because I'm not hard on it at all, don't smoke, and use facial cleaner and moisturizer every day. I didn't think it possible that it was connected to Celiac until I read this post and found some others elsewhere. This one attributes the indents to "allergies." I have more links if anyone is interested.

This almost feels too farfetched. It's so easy to attribute everything to Celiac when you're first diagnosed, I guess. Haha...

Really interesting, When I was watching the Oscars I noticed Sandra Bullock seemed to have what you described.

Wow, yeah. I've never noticed that before - I have horizontal lines on all of my fingertips. The thumbs are the most prominent.

      Worsening vision 🕵🏽‍♀️

      By trents · Posted

      Vitamin A is important for vision health. But be careful in supplementing it as it can lead to toxicity. Research it and consult with your medical professional. I do not have a definite answer to your original question but I was pursuing the possible cause of nutritional deficiency. But your visual deterioration could be unrelated to your celiac disease so don't rule that out.

      Currently 19. Doctors think I was 1 year old when celiac started, but I wasn't diagnosed until 18, because they didn't do lab work on minors. I've been on a strict gluten-free diet for 14 months now. For example only certified gluten-free nuts and I've researched best brands a lot. I take B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin C, Curcumin with black pepper, black sesame and green tea extract, magnesium, iron, and a little selenium and zinc, beef liver capsules. I recently had my vitamin and mineral levels retested and D is the only one I don't have enough of now. I had my eyes tested at 17 and they were good back then.

      Awaiting dermatitis herpetiformis confirmation following biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Not everyone with dermatitis herpetiformis needs to avoid iodine. DH is caused by gluten exposure, but iodine can worsen or trigger flares in a subset of people, especially when the rash is active or not yet controlled by a strict gluten-free diet. Some people react to iodized salt, seaweed, shellfish, or iodine supplements, while others tolerate normal dietary iodine without problems. In most cases, iodine restriction is individualized and often temporary, not a lifelong rule for everyone.

      Questions: How old are you now? How long ago were you diagnosed as having celiac disease? Do you practice a strict gluten-free diet? Are you taking vitamin and mineral supplements to offset the nutrient malabsorption issues typical of celiac disease and if so, can you elaborate on what you are taking?

      My vision was good as a teen and now has gotten worse in the last year. Could that be caused by my celiac disease?🤓😎🥸👓🕶️
