Dermatitis herpetiformis also known as the Celiac Rash. The first picture is from March of this year when I was taking vitamin A but had already been gluten free for years. The second picture is the same spot after going on A elimination for about 3 months.
My main dermatitis lesions were on both elbows (much worse than the picture above) and those gradually resolved after stopping gluten. It was a slow process taking close to two years for complete healing but even then I'd occasionally have slight flares and I couldn't pinpoint why. Now I'm thinking it could have been related to my A intake.
For the record I never got the spot in the picture above officially diagnosed so it may not be dermatitis herpetiformis but still it is vastly improved!
I can't see the pictures! Is it just me?

Interesting paper cited in this greenmedinfo article from 2012 linking cealiac disease with vitamin A.

Thanks JAJ! The article you linked confirms my own experience of only having a partial recovery from going gluten free. It ties in nicely with Grant's work and explains why so many people diagnosed with celiac continue to have problems often for years. It never made sense to me that it would take so long to recover when the digestive tract is supposed to be renewed every few days. There is obviously another more damaging and insidious factor impeding healing and it certainly seems the culprit is 'vitamin A'.
