Reasons for the development of dermatitis

Recommended:

Even with all the possibilities of modern medicine, the exact causes of the development of the present skin diseaseAre unknown.But this is not a problem - it is important that doctors perfectly know the methods of treatment of pathology.

Of course, the research is underway and it has been suggested that Dühring's dermatitis has an autoimmune mechanism of "triggering" - the body perceives its cells as foreign and begins to release antibodies directed at their destruction.But there is also an important clarification: the development of herpetiform dermatitis is directly associated with poor gluten tolerance, so there is a high risk of developing the disease in those people who have a history of intolerance to gluten-free cereal protein.
