Hello Trents,
I have not been officially diagnosed. But from everything I have read it is probably what I have. It started back in October and was told it is just contact dermatitis. I have changed all the soaps and detergents and still no relief. On March 4th I gave up gluten and things are getting better or at least not getting worse. Have itchy bumps mostly on the back of my head, hips, buttocks, lower back, upper back and neck. With flare ups in other places in small amounts. Go to the dermatologist this morning, will see what they say. From everything I have heard it may take awhile to get an official diagnosis. I also have one of the genetic markers for Celiac.

Thank you Trents. The dermatologist still believes it is contact dermatitis. I let them know it is aggravated by wheat but just told me to stop eating it, which I have about a week ago. Probably won’t go back to that dermatologist and just continue to not eat gluten. I just won’t have a formal diagnosis.
