Does this look like a Lupus face rash..Help!

[Confused01]

Hi All,

Please could anyone tell me if my face rash/redness could be Lupus related?

I have multiple medical issues, largely fluctuating, but whenever I have a bout of feeling very unwell this comes up on my face.

I also have red blotches on my neck, below ears.

Though it doesn’t look typically like a double sided butterfly Lupus example I wonder if anyone else relates to what I get?

Ps...No point in my GP they have their head in the sand and unsupportive.

Does look like mild lupus

Thank you. I tend to get it as I start going downhill, feeling unwell (this fluctuates). Would you relate that to Lupus or would my rash stay there?x

It’s for hard to tell from your photo. I think it looks a bit more like eczema or other dermatitis to be honest. I get much more pronounced version of this a lot now - especially when just so cold and I’m run down with flares - but I don’t have a diagnosis of Lupus. However I have other overlapping connective tissue diseases.

I really wouldn’t say this marking would likely be lupus unless you already have existing autoimmune diseases - in which case your GP should be willing to run a basic autoimmune panel and inflammatory markers for you. Otherwise it could just be a mild inflammatory response to anything I’d say. But the only way to find out is to either get tested privately or badger your gp
