Causes

Dermatitis herpetiformis is a skin manifestation of celiac disease. Approximately 10% patients suffering from celiac disease are affected by this rash, while more than 90% patients with the dermatitis herpetiformis eruptions are found to have gluten sensitive enteropathy. Both genetic and environmental factors are the cause of the development of the rash.
