Cases related to drug reactions have the shortest duration, lasting 2 to 6 weeks after the drug is withdrawn. [merckmanuals.com]
Topical steroids are typically used more intensively for flare-ups of eczema, and then not used as frequently or withdrawn as the flare settles. [healthywa.wa.gov.au]

Workup
A thorough history and physical examination can provide the necessary clues for further workup. [mdedge.com]
However, if clinical signs of gastrointestinal disease are evident on examination, further workup may be required.2 Whether or not intestinal damage is evident, a gluten-free diet should be implemented because the rash of DH is gluten sensitive.4 Treatment [niddk.nih.gov]
Dermatopathologic findings of seborrheic dermatitis are nonspecific and typically include the following: Hyperkeratosis Acanthosis Accentuated rete ridges Focal spongiosis Parakeratosis See Workup for more detail. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Treatment
Repeat the treatment for 3 weeks. [noskinproblems.com]
Avoidance often resolves the dermatitis but if this is difficult or if the dermatitis is long standing, you will need drug treatments. Use of soap substitutes and regular emollients is the mainstay of treatment. [netdoctor.co.uk]

Prognosis
The prognosis of the condition is variable, but it has been shown that resolution of the underlying psychosocial stressor leads to improvement of the skin. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis The prognosis is excellent for low grade lesions but a poorer prognosis is associated with the FS variant due to a higher risk of recurrence and metastases. Overall, the rate of mortality is low (< 3% at 10 years). [orpha.net]
Prognosis depends on the cause. Cases related to drug reactions have the shortest duration, lasting 2 to 6 weeks after the drug is withdrawn. [merckmanuals.com]
Prognosis Excellent, if you stay on the gluten-free diet. The severity and frequency of eruptions will decrease as you continue with the diet. Iodine can trigger eruptions in some people. [gluten.org]
Dermatitis herpetiformis usually has a good prognosis, with the majority of patients responding well to a strict gluten-free diet and medication. The response rate varies between individuals (days to years). See smartphone apps to check your skin. [dermnetnz.org]

[…] found in patients with idiopathic central DI; however, these antibodies have also been found in patients with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) or germinomas, which indicates that this finding can not be considered a reliable marker of autoimmune etiology [emedicine.medscape.com]
Etiology DFSP is most likely fibroblastic in origin: over 90% of cases are associated with dysregulated platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) production resulting from chromosomal translocation or a supernumerary ring chromosome derived from t(17;22). [orpha.net]

OUTCOMES: The cream-to-powder product prevented about 70% of the test dye from reaching the skin surface, demonstrating its ability to supplement the skin barrier. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The prevention strategy consisted of a two‐part concept, with an evidence‐based prevention programme giving recommendations for prevention of work‐related skin problems in wet work occupations, and a documented method for implementation. [doi.org]
