Tag: Autoimmune skin condition

Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is an intensely itchy, blistering skin condition that affects up to 10% of people with celiac disease. A critical aspect of managing DH is a lifelong, strict gluten-free diet, which can sometimes lead to nutritional deficiencies over time if not managed properly.

Studies consistently show a high incidence of vitamin D deficiency among people with vitiligo, with one study of 46 patients reporting that 76% had deficient levels. While vitamin D's role in this autoimmune skin condition is complex, determining the correct amount is crucial and must be guided by a healthcare professional.
