Symptoms of Gluten Intolerance

Skin Issues

Gluten intolerance could also affect the skin. In fact, dermatitis herpetiformis, a blister skin issue, is the manifestation of many celiac diseases. Some other possible skin signs include psoriasis, which is an inflammatory skin disease featured by reddening and scaling of the skin; chronic urticaria, a skin issue featured by red, pink, itchy, or recurrent lesions and pale centers; and alopecia areata, which causes non-scarring loss of hair.
