Calcinosis

I have MCTD including SLE and Scleroderma and Raynaud's ; fairly recently diagnosed, but like most have had symptoms for years.

Just wondering if anyone had experienced calcinosis on their earlobe?! I seem to have two small areas now..any advice?

yes i have it on both my ear lobes! Its painful but i apply Auquphor on it and it really helps! I have had to find my own treatments because the medical care in So Cal is terrible. Its a lil expensive but its worth it
