I have had Dermetitis Herpetiformis for the past 30 years. I had it about 25 years ago all over my body (except face, neck and hands)I was covered everywhere else. I was like that for over a year and that is when I received my diagnois and starting taking Dapsone. Within a month I starting clearing up and he went away for 20 years. It has started to come back (not quite as bad as 20 years ago)

Comment:
After months of doc visits and blisters and intense itching I was diagnosed with DH 24 years ago. I've been taking half a 100mg tablet of Dapsone for the last 24 yaears. love it. Cannot take NSAID's with it though. DH symptoms get 10 times worse if you take NSAID's. I suffer a drug induced Hyposensitivity with the two.

dermatitis herpetiformis is what the Dermatoligist said I have caused by celiac. Of course I have had the biopsy, blood work, light down the throat so they could biopsy stomach all said celiac.

Comment:
Received Dapsone 100 mg/daily for DH. Worked great, was getting weekly labs taken no problems. Then about 3-4 weeks into it my neutrophil count dropped. My Dr. had to D/C it due to risk of infection. Now I don't know what to do to control this intense itch! If anyone has used anything else with success please let me know! Thanks Dan
