Hi!
 
Does anyone know where to get iodine patches or how to use them in
diagnosing DH? My dermatologist hasn't heard of them.
 
>From the ActionLine Newsletter of October 1995:
"4.  Iodine testing for DH is an old procedure used to create DH
blisters.  By applying a 30 percent solution of iodine as a patch, a DH
outbreak can be created.  This may be applicable in some patients when a
biopsy is needed and no blisters are available."
 
Thanks,
