What were your first symptoms?
Over the last couple of months I've been getting pain in my fingers and toes, it happens several times a day but only lasts a minute or two at a time at the moment.

Skin ulcers
Hi fellow lupus warriors I have had a wound on my leg for at least 6 weeks that is growing and won't scab or heal. I am not on steroids at the moment (just plaquenil) and don't have any other signs of a possible flare. Has anyone ever had something like this? Is it related to Lupus or just a coincidence

Malar rash caused by heat?
Hello, just wondering if this looks like a malar rash, and if so, can be triggered by heat as opposed to sunlight? I'm suspected of having cutaneous lupus (awaiting further biopsy) but when I'm very hot e.g. out of the bath, in a warm building, my face will flush. I'm careful in the sun anyway - hats
