    Mine is symetrical about 80% of the time. The delay however can be a few days. last week my left shin was blistered and itching like crazy. This week it's just blistered and scabby (due to night time scratching) but my right shin recently got the blisters and itching. i too have gotten it on my face. however i must say the scalp was the worst since...

    My dermatologist told me it could be Chelytiella (sp) mites which you can get from pets like dog or cat. However she barely looked at my skin so I don't know how she came to that conclusion. I still don't have a positive diagnosis.

    First biopsy was of the lesion and adjacent. However, it was not a very fresh lesion. It cam back negative for dh. I have been eating gluten since Thursday, I seem to be getting a little itchier but not too bad.

    go gluten free. It can't hurt you and you've already experienced that it can help. I had a horrible rash allover my body two weeks ago that I had since early December. I went gluten free and now have only a few blisters here and there. I am awaiting the results from abiopsy. Whatever the outcome I will remain gluten free. Many of my family and friends are...

    thanks Richard for the good reminder. I have been suffering so much that after reading many of the comments on this site I thought that perhaps I too should try to eliminate iodine. However after some research I foun d ou tthere are some serious health issues with eliminating iodine from your diet. I now know I willonly attempt this under the supervision...

    I'm happy to hear some of you are doing well. I merely suspect that I have dh. Doc did biopsy and won't know for a couple of weeks. Question-how long of gluten free eating until I get some relief? I've only been gluten free for 5 days. No improvement yet - too soon to expect relief? Or perhaps rash is something else. Thanks for any help you can offer

    Thanks again. I told dermatologist to test for DH and she willingly did a biopsy. I'll know the results in a few weeks. All of you Celiac sufferers on this forum are brave and generous with your responses. Thanks again. I had breast cancer 11 years ago and there was a website similar to this one that got me through it. I love how the internet allows...

    Thanks for the quick replies. What an awesome community. I ahve been eating gluten free for 2 days and today is my dermatologist appointment. Do you think just two days of no gluten will affect the test results. If eating gluten free offers me relief, is a positive diagnosis really necessary as it seems the only help for DH or celiac is gluten free. ...

    I have been suffering from any extremely itch rash for two months. After much online research it sounds like it may be dh, however I do not have any other symptoms of celiac. I am 48 and never had arash like this before. 2nd appointment tomorrow with a dermatologist. Last ointment prescribed didn't help. Should I insist on biopsy/test for sh? Can dh show...
