Does anyone recognize this type of rash, is it Lupus related?

[Whathappned]

I get asked each time I go to my OPA but I have never mentioned this because it comes and goes really quickly. The longest I have had it has been 2 days. It usually starts at night and itchy. This one I didnt notice until I woke so I haven't scratched, that makes it a lot worse!

Thank you for your reply. I thought it was a prickly heat type of thing originally or an allergy so I didn't mention it but its happened more often recently. I see my consultant next week. I have photos in case its not there that day.

I have this permanently on my chest. Whilst it does get itchy I think I must have got used to it.

I get the exact same thing on the back of my calves. It itches a little, but stings after I get out of shower. It comes and goes. I just put moisturizing cream on it thinking that its just dryness that is causing it, or something in my water that is irritating me. I haven't had in awhile. Dropped dairy out of my diet. I wondered if it was a reaction to what I was eating. Never found a connection.

get some cetraban from your GP it will stop this very soon, if its sore in the sun cover up

Hi Michelle this looks very much like the rash I had when first diagnosed with cutaneous lupus/sjogren's syndrome. It didn't itch nor was it painful but it could get very red and angry looking. I had a skin biopsy which showed lupus. It disappeared after starting Hydroxychloroquin and I've had no skin problems since. Hope this helps.
