What Do Rashes All Over The Arms And Shoulders Indicate?

Last July I broke out with a rash which is still on me. At first my Doctor said that it looks like I am allergic to the sun because of the places I broke out. My rash has not gotten any worse. It is all over my arms shoulders and shins. My daughter told me the other day that my rash looks like one of her friends and she has Lupus. This am while out for coffee with friends one woman said that my rash looked like it could be Lupus.I looked upon line some photos of Lupus rashes and I found one that looked exactly like mine. The rash that looked like mine was calledSubacut rings,cutaneousLupus. (Subacute rings) How is this treated?

Hello,

If it is lupus vulgaris, you will have rings of white tissue. We need to know what kind of rashes you are having. Don't compare to the others. It's better if you describe your rashes and with any photographs, it is best for us to diagnose and treat you appropriately. If its still lupus then also you don't have to worry we will treat you on the basis of further investigation.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Archana
