I have DH and it doesn’t look like mine, DH presents as mini extremely itchy blisters often on the hands, feet, scalp and in the hairline. I know it can crop up elsewhere, nothing stops the itch in my experience other than popping the blisters

we’ve had it in our family for at least 4 generations and all presented in a similar way, mine tends to erupt about 2 days after I’ve been glutened

You might want to get this moved to the autoimmune board OP (Coeliac disease is neither an allergy or an intolerance).

My son n has this but it’s not like that. It’s a bad blistery thing. It starts off like that but the more gluten eaten the worse it gets. That could be a heat rash? Allergy?
