Any body get prickly itching on their back in the heat or after a shower. It hurts and itches at the same time. Very uncomfortable.

I also get this and it feels like being brushed with a stinging Nettle. No idea what it is and there are no visible signs on the area affected.

I have had itching on legs and arms to the point where I made legs bleed with the scratching, ask consultant about it was told nothing to do with lupus.

I too get this, mostly on my back and upper arms. I live in Florida so avoiding the heat is near impossible, but I have noticed it can pop up when I get over heated in any way.

My already messed up skin gets more red, sore and itchy after I get washed, Ive had a couple of biopsy's, the last result said "possible lupus" but ANA test came back negative. I have been diagnosed with Jessner lymphocytic infiltrate and Folliculitis, I was prescribed Nizoral shampoo for the folliculitis and sent away with a leaflet on hydroxychloroquine to deal with the jessner, I have an appointment next month to begin treatment.
