Awaiting consultants appointment in Covid 19.
Tumidus Lupus?
After many years of ongoing facial rashes, started 12 year ago approx. But last year & early part of this year at its worst. My Gp referred me to see a dermatologist regarding this, on December 30th 2019, appointment was due just after we went into Lockdown. Can't be helped, & totally understand why. I'm patient.
It gave me time to do some research myself. I was 59 at referral date, turned 60 in April. Symptoms go back as I said over 12 years.
I have been prescribed Mometasone Furoate 1mg cream that has finally helped, after trying numerous alternatives.
My main ongoing problem.,, when not having a flare up is my lips and just around my mouth, peeling, dry, cracked almost permanently. The cream stings on applying to my lips too. I use daily vaseline or lip salves, but really makes no impact.
Anyone else suffer with this with Lupus of any form?
My sister had Lupus SLE, but sadly passed away 13 years ago, aged 51 with a heart attack. I'm not anxious about any diagnosis, but like most I'm sure who await a diagnosis, really want to know what it is.
My face around eyes are usually worst hit in a flare up too. Any thoughts welcome.
