Should I see a dr over this :-/ ?

[stacieann1989]

Hi all, was diagnosed with APS last year and currently undergoing more tests after some positive results under a lupus antibody screening. 

I noticed last week I had this small circular red patch on my foot. Didn't think too much of it, but the past few days it's gotten bigger and it's also raised, like a little lump right over a vein and it feels sore to touch. My partner says I should go get it checked out but I hate going to the doctor over nothing. I've attached a picture, just wanted some advice (obviously in the back of my mind I've been freaking out thinking its a blood clot)  but at the same time I'm telling myself I'm being paranoid and it's nothing to worry about. 

Thanks in advance and hope everyone is well. ☺️

Hi,

You write you have a lot of autoimmun illnesses. Were you diagnosed APS by antibodies or by symptoms? 

I also wonder who diagnosed you and if you now have got an APS-Specialist who knows what to look for re different symptoms?

Are you anticoagulated? I ask this as this is an APS-site so we know this illness best here, but several members have also Sjögrens or SLE or Thyroid-problems. They go hand in hand. 

Best wishes from Kerstin in Stockholm

Hi

I would get it checked. Anything new, different or worrying is always worth a trip to the Dr for peace of mind X
