I truly don't know if he tested for it.

All he told me is that it was Dermatitis herpetiformis.

I see him next Tuesday and will see if I was tested for it.

I will get back here and post on whether or not I was tested for it. They seem to be closely related. I hope I don't have it.

It's the first time I have ever seen a dermatologist. I was referred to him. But he seems very knowledgeable. Thorough too. He took two skin samples to make sure.

I started the dapsone today. I sure hope it puts it down because it is very bothersome.

I am starting now to look at what I eat and reduce the gluten in my diet. It seems to be a big big factor in dealing with it.
