People with Dermatitis Herpetiformis describe incredibly itchy skin and develop chronic papulovesicular eruptions or red blisters. The bumps are distributed symmetrically on areas such as the buttocks, elbows, knees, back, groin, hairline, back of neck, scalp, and face, particularly the mouth and lips. The symptoms range from mild to severe but are likely to disappear if you avoid ingesting gluten and follow the appropriate treatment.
