Hi folks,

I have scars on my forehead and around my temples from years of untreated/undiagnosed DH. I am interested in trying some makeup to help reduce the visibility and patchwork coloration of the scars. I dont know a lot about makeup. I am a male caucasian. Anybody know if this would work/worth trying? Are there resources available that would help me learn more?

I also don't know much about makeup, sorry, but one suggestion I have would be to make sure the makeup is gluten-free, as gluten is used in some makeup products.

You might try doing a search on you tube for techniques.  There are lots of make up artists on there.  Plenty for men too.  The goal is to look like you have nothing on.  

In our family, we use Physician’s Formula green concealer to cover redness.  Then lightly apply a mineral foundation (Neutrogena) with a sponge or brush over it and blend.  The goal is took look like you do not have on foundation.  Less is more.  I like Mineral powder over a liquid because it provides very light coverage.  You just have to experiment.

I use Gabriel, Zuzu, or Andrea Rose cosmetic concealers, all Gluten Free and Fragrance Free. I have scars from surgery and red marks from hemangiomas. I just dab some on and let dry happy a second coat in those areas. With my age I avoid powders that make skin look more wrinkled.

I'm a big fan of the Bare Minerals powder type mineral foundations you buff on. Afterglow Cosmetics is a gluten free brand. I don't have scars or discoloration but my sister does, and she loves it and it doesn't feel heavy like liquid foundation.

      Daughter's high test results.

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  My daughter has reacted to casein and the symptoms are unmissable- totally gluten symptoms. Joint pain, nausea, intestinal spasms. This has happened ten months after we went dairy free along with gluten free post diagnosis. I am certain she is reacting to casein. We never did oats for the same fear. Not even going to try the Certified one.  It might be worth looking at the meds- xanthan gum, guar gum, and cellulose gum is also what she reacts to. I bet you’ll find them in every OTC for kids.  We have stopped using things like honey -!: ketchup as well. Basically anything coming out of a packet.  My daughter was diagnosed with >100 ttg. Five months later in was down to 13. But then she had literally no symptoms.    As time has passed she reacts to slightest of things. We have obviously stopped casein, we only needed it for butter, because almost every cooking oil has been prone to contamination for us. It’ll be interesting to see what her labs look like in June, which will be an annual antibody test. We decided not to test her at six months this time because I was certain she was reacting to many things . She is six now and was diagnosed at five. I cannot tell you how wrong the doc was when she said oh just don’t eat gluten and she’ll be fine. Doctors send ups packing like that. I wished it was as simple as that.    I hope your daughter feels better soon.

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      I have been dealing with dermatitis herpetiformis as long as I can remember, as of the past 6 years I’ve been able to stay on a strict enough diet to have minimal flare ups, but recently I’ve ate gluten on accident and it has caused a horrible flare up, I’m currently on a strong dose of prednisone because I don’t have an official diagnosis and the doctor would only treat it as normal hives, does anyone have any home remedies to help with the intense itching, any tips would be greatly appreciated!!
