Abstract: We report a case of dermatitis herpetiformis. The patient was treated with strict gluten-free diet intervention and recovered after 3 months of follow-up without recurrence. This case report shows that strict dietary control alone can avoid the side effects of traditional treatment drugs and maintain long-term stable disease without recurrence.

Key words: dermatitis herpetiformis, dietary intervention
