Dermatitis herpetiformis This is an uncommon blistering sub-epidermal eruption of the skin associated with a gluten-sensitive enteropathy. Rarely, there may be gross malabsorption, but usually the jejunal morphological abnormalities are not as severe as in coeliac disease. The inheritance and immunological abnormalities are the same as for coeliac disease The skin condition responds to Dapsone but both the gut and the skin will improve on a gluten-free diet. |
