ARCHIVED Anyone Have Dh Flare Up From Tylenol Pm?!
brandiecane replied to brandiecane's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
I found this same website FAQ when I was doing my research. I have found several other DH sufferer comments on forums about highly chlorinated pools triggering a DH outbreak.

ARCHIVED Shampoos Detergents And Soap

That's kinda how mine looks but only if I have a minor flare up. In my experience, DH is most easily identified by the way it feels. It is so insanely uncomfortable- pure torture- literally makes you consider suicide when it is undiagnosed for SO long.

ARCHIVED Anyone Have Dh Flare Up From Tylenol Pm?!
brandiecane posted a topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
Hi everyone, I am brand new to this forum. I joined because I am freaking out about a DH flare up and I do not know what the heck is causing it! I am very meticulous about avoiding gluten. I only use gluten-free lotion, shampoo, everything! I am 8 months pregnant and all of a sudden am having a terrible DH flare up on my legs (which is usually where...
