Re: Skin rash -- skin tags

Here's one of many URLs about herpetiformis dermatitis:

http://www.csaceliacs.org/dermherp.html

Again, it is establishing a link of celiac disease with other

autoimmune diseases, like Graves'. Interestingly, there was a

question on the Sjogrens2 list yesterday asking if anyone with

Sjogren has also been diagnosed with Celiac.

I've been tested for Celiac because I have herpetiformis dermatitis and

was found quite negative.

[s E L Paolini] If you are a celiac 1) you cannot digest any gluten

product and it will pass like the dickens

thru you. If you stop taking gluten within days you will see a noticeable

difference. In my case IBS was causing

simliar problems.

So, Sue, how did you get the diagnosis of herpetiformis dermatitis

and what does yours look like? I think that there are a bunch of

people who have clusters of small blisters who are wanting to figure

out what it is. Also, they'd probably like to know what to do about

it.

i've had it for years off and on about 20 years ago ended up in the ER on

it. Looks like eczema and it's called differenct

things depending upon the doctor you visit or where on the body. This

summer they used Elidel which worked like a charm. It's a new drug. They

key is that is itchy and spreads. Usually the skin is very very very dry.

OTC the best thing that I've found is boroleum.
