<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I am curious whether others have experienced a growing sensitivity in their skin and whether it might be related to celiac sprue. I am always reluctant to attribute everything in my life to gluten, but this has become puzzling. I have been GF about 4 years and am 62 years old. I have always had pronounced veins in my hands (as have other family members.) Last June I noticed my hands were getting red spots on them like small bruises. Since then they have become very sensitive to the slightest contact with almost anything. The bruises disappear in about 48 hours. They seem to recur in areas where my veins are very close to my skin. I have asked my dermatologist and internist about this and neither seem too concerned nor do they have any explanation. So just wondered if anyone else had experienced this. I do not have DH. Thanks for your help.
