<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Why does everyone naturally assume that they have DH when they break out in a "rash". Dermatitis Herpetiformis is much more than a rash. My husband has had this condition for 2 years. The blisters are painful, they rupture and the scarring is horrible. He has had them on his head, back, arms (this is the main eruption site), knees, and facial area. (Other places I won't mention) He has never had them on his waist, toes, stomach or back. This is a most painful disorder and an embarrassing one as well. When he has a break-out, he has to wear long sleeve shirts when we are in public because of all the stares. He takes Dapsone, uses Temovate E cream, and Hydroxyzine for itching-these make him really irritable. We find it hard to trace back the origin of the gluten ingestion because it can take up to a week before the first blisters appear. He also has outbreaks due to stress. Maybe this information will help someone. I, in no way, want to offend anyone. Just curious. He also has young adult on-set diabetes. Please, don't feel sorry for us. Things can always be worse. I really enjoy this list! Jamie
