Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) or Duhring's Disease, is a
skin disorder often associated with
celiac disease. It is a chronic, extremely itchy rash consisting of
papules and
vesicles. Dermatitis herpetiformis is associated with sensitivity of the intestine to gluten in the diet (celiac sprue).Dermatitis herpetiformis usually begins in the twenties, though children may sometimes be affected. It is seen in both men and women. Though the cause of the rash is unknown, dermatitis herpetiformis is frequently associated with
gluten (a protein found in cereals) sensitivity in the small bowel.
