Thank you Franceen for your feedback, I think i will stay gluten free for now, but let her do the allergy patch testing. I took myself off the dapsone back in Jan. I didn't see any change in the rash, meaning, i didn't get worse. I had told my previous dr. for weeks that the dapsone was making me to tired and terrible feeling, he didn't want to hear it..so...

I'm confused as to what i should do? should i go back eating gluten? i've...

I had wendys ceasar chicken salad last week and got very sick from it..not sure if it was the salad or just a bug..but i'm not trying it again. -
i was just diagnosed with DH and i had it on my lower back, across my belly, neck, scalp and shins of my legs....after going gluten-free and dapsone it all disappeard, now it went to my face and pubic area recently..so i'm guessing every one is different..the ones on my face don't itch as much as it does/did everywhere else. I'm starting to think this is...

NO, my doctor never did blood work before i started taking it nor has he taken any since i've been on it, I wonder if that is why my face is breaking out..its not the DH looking rash..it's not even itcy, it's more like bumps all over, like a reaction to something, but not even hive looking..hmmmm I showed him my face first part of November and he never said...
