It looks very angry.

No one, not even a dermatologist, can diagnose from a photograph. You need to see a dermatologist who will perform a biopsy. A tiny piece of skin will be taken that must include sufficient layers to test the cells for lupus.

I really think you need to see your GP asap and to get to see a dermatologist. Unless the doctor knows the source of the rash, you will continue to suffer your symptoms.

I am so sorry I cannot be more helpful.

With good wishes,

Ros
