Celiac Disease- Symptoms, Types and Causes

Dermatitis Herpetiformis

Gluten intolerance can lead to itchy blistering skin disease. The rash mostly happens on the elbows, knees, torso, buttocks and scalp.

Dermatitis herpetiformis is accompanied by changes in the small intestine similar to those that occur in celiac disease. As a kind of itchy skin disease, Dermatitis herpetiformis can cause a cluster of small blisters and bumps, and rarely happens in children. However, the skin condition might not lead to digestive symptoms. In most cases, doctors advise patients with dermatitis herpeformitis to avoid gluten diets and prescribe some drugs that can reduce the rash and itchiness.
