Sores......

I suffer with SLE Lupus, underactive thyroid and chronic pelvic pain. Just recently I've had a sweat rash underneath my tummy. I'm now wondering if it's a lupus flare instead.

I've had it now for about 3 weeks and no cream seems to be helping with it at all. I went to my doctor last week he didn't ask to look at it and prescribed me Timodine Cream. It's a yellow cream and I've used 2 tubes already and it still doesn't seem to be clearing it up.

It's both sides left and right and now meeting in the middle and its red raw and burns, the heat coming off it is something in itself, and it he's too. I was wondering if anyone else has had the same and if they think it could be a lupus flare, or just a standard sweat rash.

I appreciate your help.....

Hi Georgie63, sorry to read this. It's never helpful to dish out prescriptions with out looking first! It sounds like it could be infected and you should go back to the go for antibiotic cream and or tablets. It may be connected to lupus but without seeing it it would be hard to say. Hope you get sorted and don't be fobbed off. X
