Hi to All,

I wonder if anyone else has noticed this.  From time to time I get small
round "growths" on my skin.  "Growth" is not really a good word for
describing them as it has malignant connotations.  I am sure these are
quite benign as I have been getting them for years.  They are like a flat
wart, about 3 to 6 mm in diameter, slightly paler than my normally fair skin
colour.  With a bit of a rub, they can be scraped off.  They appear mainly
on my trunk and legs and are not painful.  I am told that they are not
psoriasis.

I once was told by a doctor, quite some years ago, that people with CD
get such "marks" on their skin caused by an immune reaction which
deposits something in the skin.  I don't know whether he was confusing
these with DH, or whether Celiacs do commonly get other skin marks.  I
haven't read anything about it.  I seem to have a lot more of these
appearing of late which is what prompted me to ask other listmembers
about them.  Can anyone shed any light?

Regards,
