I have been gluten free for four years , I still have DH outbreaks but they are not as extensive as they used to be. I do still wake up every nite with terrible itching which causes scratching to excess. The hot humid weather of summer makes it all the worse. My worst areas are buttocks and forearms. I have not had clear skin for at least 7 years. I figure...

From people who share the same issues & can't find answers anyplace else. People who do not have this condition do not understand...

I commend you on not scratching them. At times I have to. I have some breakouts which are totally inflamed and raised as in a hive that are at least a quarter in size. They have tended to get smaller thru time but every now & then I get a really big eruption that is also more tender and much harder under the surface of my skin. They are usually much...
