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.
