This looks like a lupus rash ! My friend go to the Drs tomorrow ask to be referred to a dermatologist, but for now look on the NHS web site !

Don't worry you will be fine , I have this ! When you bath don't add any smelly's it will aggravate it ,

Big hugs ,

Hi , I've seen dermatologist she sent me for blood tests & biopsy but still waiting for results. Was getting worried as its spread so much while waiting to hear x

[Shadows-walker in reply to Bailey13]

It's spreading because your stressed , after the birth of my son ! I broke out over night with this , it was still there 18 months later as I was treated for psoriasis , I went in the sea off the Welsh coast and I swear it went as quick as it came ! Every now and then it pops up and I chuck salt in my bath water if I can't get to the sea, I don't know if it is the sea water , or it's the calming environment but it helps me ,

The fist thing to to is lose the stress my friend it makes it worse ,

Hugs

Chris .

My neighbor has Lupus and both her legs broke out in a rash like that. It was so bad you could hardly see any skin. She also as Fibro. But she told me the doctor told her the rash was due to her Lupus. Maybe you could ask your doctor if it could be possible that is what it is ?

Hi there

I'm sorry that I cannot help with regard to your rash, however might I suggest that as you have a photo up, it might be a good idea for you to lock your post?

It is completely your choice. I can lock it for you if you like?

I do hope that you get some answers soon.

Wishing you all the very best.

You can lock it for me as I don't really understand

[BlueMermaid3 in reply to Bailey13]

Hi Bailey

I'm not sure what you don't understand. How to lock your post or why it is a good idea to lock it.

If you let me know which it is I will be more than happy to help.

I have a number of allergies - to MI, Peru Balsam and Fragrance Mix. MI is a preservative used in so many body care and household products that it is difficult to avoid. It produces a horrible rash in those allergic to it. With Fibro we are all more susceptible to allergies. Your dermatologist should be able to do patch tests to find out if you have allergic reactions to anything.

Good luck with a diagnosis - that is always the start of getting better in some way. I hope it works out for you.

I am so genuinely sorry to read that you are suffering in this way, and I sincerely hope that your test results come back fine. I do not know what it could be but I had an experience a few years ago with a rash like this and it turned out to be urticaria, commonly known as the hives.

I want to genuinely and sincerely wish you all the best of luck.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Hi There- yes I have similar which I am told is?? Psoriatic arthritis linked to ankylosing spondilitis, fibromyagia and osteoarthritis. IF it is diagnosed as this via hla-b27 BLOOD TEST then treating from outside to in is wrong way round, I am asking to be treated from inside to the out IF it is in my blood.. let you know outcome..
