Re: Re: Re: Re: DH under the arms?


Hi



Sorry, sorry, the message should read... typo



The symptoms you just said, itchy, white fluid with scars DOES fit in with DH. However, you say that they are only under your armpits - DH usually is elsewhere - but it can be anywhere - so dont count it out completely. Try and get them biopsied.

Hello,

I was looking at the pictures of DH with my mom and she said that what I have sort of looks like it, but that it is probably something else that is aggrivated by gluten. By bumps are itchy and do have white fluid in them and do leave scars so I have no idea what they are. Thanks for your advice though= )

Hello Everyone,

I have Celiacs Disease and I was wondering if I may also have DH. I have had these itchy rashy bumps on my armpits for maybe a little over 2 years now and they come and go. I noticed that now that I eat GF, they seem to go away. But I accidentally ate gluten the other day and the rash is back in full force. They are bloody and are mostly on my armpits, but the bumps taper down the side of my body. If this is DH, does that mean I just keep avoiding gluten in what I eat because that is what is doing it, or does that mean I have to quit using products and touching things with gluten as well? I hope someone can answer my question.

Re: DH under the arms?


I have DH for 13 years and the first place my rash comes back if I miss my dapsone is under the arms and on my elbows. The big sign is the rash is very symmetric.
