Does This Rash Ever Go Away?

I have had this kind of rash on my rear end for years. A long time ago, when I went for my general checkup, my Primary Care physician looked at it and said it was like a kind of acne on my rear end and not to worry. Just recently I found out I was gluten intolerant and have gone on a gluten free diet (it is about a month now). My question is - if I stick to this diet - will this rash eventually go away - or is it something you will always have?

Oh...the butt rash. The most miserable of all!

With a gluten-free diet the rash should eventually get much better. It can take up to two years to really see lasting remission, but some folks see relief in less time. It all depends on the person. If you think you have DH, be sure to avoid iodine as it makes the rash worse. The antibodies remain in your skin for up to 10 years, so flares can happen unexpectedly for a long time, but they should get less and less intense. My experience with this is that it is hard to apply hard and fast rules because the extent and intensity varies from person to person. Just remain steadfast in your commitment to your health and the rewards will come.

Best wishes and Happy New Year.

is it DH??????? ive had just about every skin manifestation from Celiac-

Psoriasis & Excema & Dandruff disappeared fairly quickly for me after going gluten free... even just gluten lite- like in a week or two-

But DH took about 4 months to go away after going 100% gluten-free-

this Ionized Silver Ointment from whole Foods really helped- took the itch away immediately and then it started clearing up and fading!!! i didnt use it right away because i wanted my GI to see the rash. it's still discolored right now, and im hoping that goes away

thanks for the replies - I will pick up the ointment you mentioned and give it a try! :rolleyes:

If the rash is painful, I use Walgreens Brand of Pain Relieving Ointment it is just benzocaine and works great.

      Hi everyone I'm James, I hope you are all feeling well??. Accidentally had gluten at weekend and I've had severe diarrhea since sat night. My question is ,the longer someone like myself has been following a strict gluten-free diet will the exposure to gluten be lot more extreme as body now has been free of it well over a year ? Any information be much appreciated and any tips on how to stop the constant diarrhoea I have currently also be appreciated guys x

      I use Listerine.  Rinse first to soften the tarter, then brush with Oral B electric toothbrush super sonic.  The $15 ones at the supermarket.  At 73 I still have all my teeth.  While a blood test can measure iodine levels, it's not the most accurate method for assessing iodine status, and urinary iodine excretion is considered a better indicator.  Have any of your dermatologists ever done a biopsy for dermatitis herpetiformis?  I may have missed it.  Note the similarity of Casal's necklace to one of your symptoms. Pellagra rash is a characteristic skin manifestation of niacin (vitamin B3) deficiency. It typically presents as:  Erythema: Red, sunburned-like areas of skin, often on the face, neck, arms, and legs.  Scaliness: Dry, flaky skin that may become thickened and crusty.  Hyperpigmentation: Darkened patches of skin, particularly in sun-exposed areas.  Casal's necklace: A dark, pigmented band around the neck.  I am currently taking these} Vitamin D 10,000 IU (250 mcg) DHEA 100 mg 500 mcg Iodine  10 drops of Liquid Iodine B1 Thiamin 250 mg  B2 Riboflavin 100 mg B3 Nicotinic Acid 500 mg 4 times a day for hyperlipidemia. B5 Pantothenice Acid 500 mg Vitamin C 500 mg     Selenium 200 mcg  Several times a week

      I will. Thanks. I did just have mg B12 drawn. I should also state that I am already taking a Vit D supplement, as I live in the US in New England sand just about everyone who lives here is deficient, esp during our winters with less exposure to natural sunlight. I was also taking a chewable bariatric vitamin as well because of my food issues related to my cancer treatment (which was many years ago, but there are long term effects.) I just stopped it because I was unable to get any gluten information about it. And it did contain iodine. Is there even a vitamin that doesn’t? I don’t know, but I will check. I also take Calcium and Magnesium in the form of “Rolaids” for leg cramps/spasms, with good effects. Thanks.
