Doubts about lupus

Fiorella profile image
3 Replies

Hello all, My name´s Fiorella and I was diagnosed with primary Raynauds 5 years ago. Until now I never had other symptoms except for the typical change of colour in my fingers with the cold. But two days ago I started noticing a butterfly-shaped rash across my cheeks and nose after taking a shower. I know this may be a symptom of lupus but as I don´t have any other symptom I don´t know if I should be worry.

Can somebody give me some advice in other changes that I should notice in case is lupus? Also I don´t know if I should go to the doctor or just wait.

Any help would be very appreciated.Thanks in advance and keep safe

PD: sorry for my poor english

Thanks for your answer. I’m not taking any medication at the moment and I never did because my symptom were never severe.
