I suffered with what sounds like a similar thing, they appeared to be acne spots but some would turn it to blisters, never really got to the bottom of what was causing them as by the time I was given a dermatology appointment it would have cleared up (flared up again straight after the appointment) I was given hydroxychloroquine it took a while for it work but it is now a lot better and very rarely suffer and if I do it's more bearable (no more hibernating unless it's cold...Raynauds)

Thank you for your kind reply. Since moving to Berlin I seem to develop this rash. So it could be due to all the stress of moving or the environment since the Rheumatologist said the rash is not related to my Lupus.

I too once had something like this, it just appeared over night. My rheumatologist referred me to a dermatologist as it didn't seem to be lupus related. I was given a steroid cream which cleared it up pretty quickly, however not given any reason for why it happened and not ever had this again.

Thank you for your kind advice. My Rheumatologist told me the rash is not related to Lupus but I am quite certain it is.

I have a rash other than my discoid one too .. It tends to break out when Im really run down. I think its the way your body is saying its coping with too many things at once. Usually its through my inflammation :( They come up like blind spots on my face and break out ... Dr's aren't too concerned with them .. -x-
