Dermatitis herpetiformis
herpetiformis (DH) is a blistering skin condition, characterised by intensely itchy blisters filled with a watery fluid. DH is a manifestation of coeliac disease, although the exact causal mechanism is not known. DH is neither related to nor caused by herpes virus; the name means that it is a skin having an appearance similar to herpes.
