Hello,

I'm male in my late 40's. Never really suffered from any allergy issue's previously.

For a few month's I have been feeling unwell with hayfever like symptoms. Itchy head, ears, sniffly nose, head ache's and tiredness and a rash around my neck (which did go a while back). Visited the doctors several times and got allergy tablets and steroid creams of which the tablets were no help.

Recently it has got a lot worse with a rash which is very itchy that's appearing in several places over my body. On top of my hands, wrists, forearms, elbows top of buttocks, knee's and ankle's. I also urinate more frequently than I have before.

I went back to the doctor's yesterday and felt as though I am getting no where. They could not give a reason for the rash and gave me some steroid cream.

It seems to have escalated after eating a big pasta meal as that night I felt very sick but was not physically sick and the next couple of nights also, this is when the rash also started to appear.

I've been told that a gluten rash would be more blistery but i am just so concerned as what's causing it i'm at my witts end and worried sick.

I've enclosed a picture of my wrist, the rash in other places is more raised and some that look blistery and more compact.

Can anybody please help with any advice.

    if you are worried about celiac disease there is a test for it . But it could be something in the pasta sauce, cheese, something you drank or maybe something that you haven't consumed. It could be a pollen type, an animal, a cleaning product, a washing detergent or something new you have been exposed to in the last couple of months. Think hard about everything new you may have come in contact with, even paints, varnishes or maybe a new shower gel.

    Has you face broke out? I broke out around my neck, then behind ears and face. After dealing with this and going through a nightmare with this; I found out I have a dust mite allergy. I tried to rotate the raised area with baby wipe and it would only come out in white pieces. I started feeling these things move on my face and don't know if you are suffering from this but body wash with tea tree oil helps

    Good luck!
