Is this Dermatitis herpetiformis?

Posted , 2 users are following.

About a month ago a really itchy painful red spot showed up on my elbow. It got bigger, itchier and painful and kind of dry. It went away on it's own. Then about a week ago it came back in the same spot with the same symptoms and it getting bigger. It is circular and raised with dry spots. I am a image22 year old woman and was told I was ANA positive 1:680 last year with no diagnosis. Now this past Sunday I woke up at 2 A.M. and had to throw up (I never throw up). Then this morning the same thing happened at 2:30 A.M. I woke up and threw up. I feel fine all day and am wondering if this is Coeliac? I go to Rheumy next month.image
