What is Dermatitis Herpetiformis?

It is a skin disease that causes the person to have clusters of small blisters and bumps developing on their skin and is caused by a sensitivity or intolerance to gluten. When gluten combines with a specific antibody in the intestines they clog small blood vessels in the skin, and this is the cause of the itchy blisters and bumps. Dermatitis herpetiformis usually onsets for people between their 30s and 50s, and it is a lifelong condition that affects men more often than women.
