Hi,

You may have a skin disease called Dermatitis Herpetiformis. It is coming from a sensitivity of the small bowel to a protein called gluten which is found in the wheat and cereals.
A strict gluten-free diet will also be recommended to help control the disease. Sticking to this diet may remove the need for medications and prevent later complications.
This disease is treated with an antibiotic called Dapsone if it is needed.For more information please click the link below:

I would suggest to you to see a Dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis .
