My GP noted some bumpy brown patches on the back of my legs and has sent the photo`s to my Rheumatologist. I read up on it and it says that people with Lupus rarely have it on their legs.
I am very doubtful it is this but just wondered if anyone else has had it

No sadly not you cannot see the backs of your legs can you? If the Rheumatologist thinks there is any chance I will get my hubby to take a photo tomorrow xxx
These autoimmune skin conditions are too complex for a GP to diagnose. They simply haven’t got proper dermatology training. Loads of pics in the links!
Excellent dermatology website.
You need an experienced dermatologist at Consultant level for the various autoantibody blood tests etc.
