Rashes/lesions

[kavqc]

Hi does anyone suffer from rashes at the top of the legs that is really raised as well as a rash going across the cheeks and the nose. I also have some lesions on my arms and legs and I have not cut myself but they start out as small little sores does anyone else suffer these

[dawny]

not had that one im afraid but there are so many symptoms that differ in so many people, i wish you well x

Fibro does not cause rashes.

A rash across the cheeks and nose is a classic symptom of Lupus. You need to see your GP urgently (so he can see this rash before it goes down - or take a photo to take in asap!) and get blood tests done, plus get a referral to a rheumatologist.

I am waiting to see the Doctor, but cannot see them for a week the rash on my face has gone down now but I still have the leisons things

I am pleased to see that you have been advised to see the doctor. What do you mean in a week!?? Thats appalling. Are you sure you told them it was urgent? I was going to suggest you see your doctor as I am in contact with some American sufferers who have also had this, however memory as bad as it is I was going to suggest you ask whether its Lupus or 5s desease? Sorry, not had either, but please take photos and notes whenever you notice something different plus your memory may not be as strong as you think when you face the doctor and he asks specific questions and you give vague answers.
