ARCHIVED documented day 76 of itchy rash - is this DH?
MsJess replied to MsJess's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
Lol well I had to go out last night and buy all new bath products as all my body wash contained oatmeal. I feel like it will be beneficial for me to eat gluten free since it will force me to eat better. I'm so beyond ready to be diagnosed though because this itching is going to ruin my skin. I used to have such beautiful pale skin and now it's blotchy and... -

Thanks for the tip. I'm a fan of sushi so I will be missing out on that as well (the kinds I eat have gluten). I just need to hurry up and get these tests over so I can stop eating this because now I've eaten lunch the itchiness has presented itself and won't go away! -

I could probably try to get... -

Thanks for the responses guys! Good to know I may be getting close to pinpointing this. I called my dermatologist yesterday and told her nurse practitioner I wanted to be tested for DH and she seemed so put off by the fact I wanted to be tested for something that they didn't come up with. I'm wondering if i should just cancel the appointment with her altogether... -

On May 20th I noticed some itchy bumps on both of my wrists starting to slowly spread further up my arms and so I went to the dermatologist. She gave me a steroid shot hoping it would go away and gave me some topical corticosteroid cream as well as zyrtec. Well a few days later I ended up with shingles, only itchy (not painful). So I went back to her and...
