Dermatitis herpetiformis, an itchy, stinging skin condition associated with celiac disease, can be mistaken for other skin conditions, including psoriasis, acne and hives.
You'll need a skin biopsy for dermatitis herpetiformis to determine for certain if you have the condition. But you may be able to get an idea of whether it's a possibility by looking at these photos of different dermatitis herpetiformis cases:
