Is this? I'm use to my rashes that pop up everyday but this is new to me. Started as a rash then it turned into bumps. Wierd bumps that itches and burn a little. Is this the lupus or Sjogren's part of me? Or is it something else. My leg looks bruised as well but I didn't injure myself...

I also have the same rash, I have MCTD and mine appeared after being in the sun last week (was on holiday in Cuba). It was my first holiday since being diagnosed in June and I haven't had rashes before, would be interested to hear if anyone else has it and how long it lasts, mine is really itchy and I have been taking pireton to relieve it, worse at night.

Hi @Ratana21, I hope you are feeling better. Are you seeing a Doctor soon? GP/rheumy.... I'm sorry I don't know Sjogren's symptoms but my rheumy says that lupus can give any kind of rashes, so her advice to me is always to visit her when this happens.

Sorry I can't be of much help but red spots could mean A LOT of different things such as allergy, virus, nothing, something, etc., maybe your Dr needs blood analysis to figure out what is this. Resting and staying on your regular medication is important, so take good care of you. Good luck :)

Hi Ratana21,

I would recommend making an appointment with your doctor to get this new rash checked out.

We have a booklet about skin involvement in lupus which may be of interest to you - lupusuk.org.uk/wp-content/u...
