Suggest Treatment For Facial Rashes
Question: I have had a face rash since 11/3 I was given a shot and steroids and the rash subsided. The rash reappeared
11/25 and I again was given a shot and prednisone. The rash has flared up again and is painful, burning and itching. I have no new medications, make up, soaps etc to explain this. I have an appointment with my Dr. Wednesday but am not sure if I should go to urgent care or the ER . I am concerned I may have lupus.
What are your thoughts? Thank you~
