lupus isn't usually rough red patches -its more often quite a smooth rash in a butterfly shape across your nose.
You could ask the rheumatology nurse, but really if you want to know exactly what it is then its a dermatology job. It could be psoriasis, but it could also just be longstanding sun damage (actinic keratoses) or any number of other things. Skin rashes can be quite hard to diagnose sometimes.
Sjorgrens can dry out ur skin leaving it red , sore and often scaly. I've got this problem with mine and use a hydrocortisone cream prescribed by my GP Hope it clears up for u soon xx
Up to now I thought Sjogrens was just eyes, nose, and mouth related. I hadn't realised it might affect my skin other than by just generally drying it out.
I have fine red scaly patches, on my cheeks, the sides of my nose and sometimes across my forehead, and it can get quite itchy.
