What Causes Dermatitis Herpetiformis?

From the name of disease, many people think this rash occurs due the certain types of herpes virus. But in this disease there is nothing to do with herpes. In the case of celiac disease symptoms associated are nausea, abdominal pain, constipation and vomiting. But the people who have the Dermatitis Herpetiformis don't develop any of intestinal symptoms. But in 80% cases of DH, intestinal damage can occur if patients of Dermatitis Herpetiformis consume diet which is rich in gluten.

There are IgA antibodies that attack the gluten protein, damage the parts of intestine which are responsible to absorb nutrients and vitamins. IgA antibodies also attack to the gluten then enter the blood stream and start clogging the blood vessels especially in the skin. White blood cells also enter into these clogs and release a chemical which results in the itchy and blistery rash.

Cause of Dermatitis Herpetiformis in Ayurveda

In ayurveda, there are three energies – vata, pitta and kapha which are important to maintain a healthy body. Imbalance of any these energies result in various health complications. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is mainly due to imbalance of tridoshas. Due to imbalance of tridosha there is production of toxins, these toxins get accumulated in the deep tissues like rakta (blood), rasa (nutrient plasma), mansa (muscles) and lasika (lymphatic).
