Duhring's disease
Duhring's disease, also known as dermatitis herpetiformis, is a chronic skin condition characterized by intensely itchy, blistering skin eruptions. It is closely linked to gluten sensitivity or celiac disease. When someone with the condition consumes gluten, it triggers an immune response that causes small, clustered blisters and skin irritation, often on elbows, knees, and buttocks. The condition requires a strict gluten-free diet to control symptoms and prevent flare-ups. Medications like dapsone can also help relieve itching and clear the eruptions. Duhring's disease highlights the connection between diet, immune response, and skin health.
