I am biopsy confirmed celiac woman, GF for about 10 years, age 38..
I've been getting an unusual rash for about 5 years. I'm looking to see if
anyone else has had similar rash.
I've seen numerous dermatologists, some with a high degree of celiac
knowledge. Had biopsies sent to Yale/New Haven Hospital. No one knows what
this rash is -- it's not DH. The rash appears as follows:
- only appears on legs, thighs to just below knees.
- from 2 to 4 bumps appear at same time, 1 bump in different areas
- starts as tiny, pimple-looking, red bump
- grows, if untreated, to look like Lyme disease rash -- bulls-eye shaped,
white in center, red around (been tested many times for Lyme which have all
been negative)
- extremely itchy
- seems to respond to medication Temovate
- goes away for a while, perhaps months and comes back again
Most dermatologists think it probably has something to do with celiac, but
definitely not DH. However, I am carefully GF. Anybody have anything
similar?
If you want to respond privately, please send to MACDRP@AOL.COM..
Thanks.
