Yes, but I don't have a rash and the affected area is only on my face. My skin has been so dry that I haven't been able to wear make-up in 2-3 years. I've tried everything under the sun to soften it. It is scaly and as I say sloughs off when wet. Trigeminal Neuropathy is the only thing I can find that would cause this and when put together with my other symptoms of pain, burning, swelling and electrical headaches, makes sense. It has been associated with gluten intolerance, too. The thing that is odd in my case, as with so many of my more overt symptoms (including my pheripheral neuropathy), is that it got much worse after I went off gluten. I had already started to have some symptoms, but everything intensified immediately. Perhaps, this was caused by the fact that my gut was already damaged and then, when I got colitis, the damage was intensified? It is the only thing that makes sense to me.
Thanks for trying to help.
