Strange rash
I would get the GP to send you to a dermatologist, in case is discoid lupus. I don't want to panic you but is best to be safe than sorry.
purpletop has given you good advice. i'd also take photos of your rash right now & also take more as the rash progresses & as it disappears with treatment etc. it's good you're noting the other symptoms that you're experiencing...will help you & your drs
I had theses rashes on my legs. It happens when I get a flare ups. Steroids, rest and a change of diet helped. Hope you get over this bout soon.
I get these rashes and like you thought they were ring worm but they aren't and now my legs below the knee itch like mad I would like to know what it is
I have the same on my chest,only smaller in size and my dermatologist said it's probably Lupus profundus.I let you know after the biopsy.
I agree with the comments that suggest a dermatologist. Use whatever referral method you need but that specialty would be your best bet to have a skin issue addressed. Discoid lupus does not have to only be on the face.
