Hydroa Herpetiforme or Dermatitis Herpetiformis, hand, foot and chest. Far left: lower left leg and foot. Center: Back of left hand and lower arm. Right: abdomen and chest, showing blistering of the skin. H. Radcliffe Crocker, 1896. Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH), or Duhring's disease, is a chronic blistering skin condition, characterised by blisters filled with a watery fluid. Despite its name, DH is neither related to nor caused by herpes virus: the name means that it is a skin inflammation having an appearance similar to herpes.
