Dermatitis herpetiformis

A chronic autoimmune subepidermal bullous disease characterized by grouped pruritic lesions such as papules, urticarial plaques, erythema, and herpetiform vesiculae, with a predominantly symmetrical distribution on extensor surfaces of the elbows (90%), knees (30%), shoulders, buttocks, sacral region, and face of children and adults. Erosions, excoriations and hyperpigmentation usually follow. It may also appear as a consequence of gluten intolerance.

Contact dermatitis

An inflammatory process in skin caused by an exogenous agent that directly or indirectly injure the skin. If the offending agent is identified and removed, the eruption will resolve. An unusual or patterned eruption may be a clue to the presence of a contact dermatitis. Patch testing may be helpful in the differential diagnosis.
