lupus rash chin

Hi! Recently patches of skin on my: chin, cheeks, forehead, the area in between my eyebrows, and the area underneath my nose (above my mouth) have become pinkish-red, dry, sore, and inflamed. I've put Neosporin and moisturizer in all of these spots, but it has no effect. It always hurts, and I can't figure out what's wrong! It looks almost like a rash, but I'm really not sure. Thanks!

No it goes from under her nose to her chin, not on her cheeks.

Have you been checked for Lupus? You probably don't have it, but the rash sounds like the typical "butterfly rash" that some Lupus patients have. Does spending time in the sun make you break out? First step is getting ANA tested, but there are other tests as well.

I had develope three small rash on my chin. Today when I got up I notice the rash is on the side of my nose and near my left eye. I do know that one of the side affect of this medication is rash. is this normal to have a rash that is spreading and has lasted for weeks because of this medication?

My cheeks, nose, and sometimes my forehead and chin are red. Last week for the first time, the flat rash on my cheeks actually raised and then it went down of there is now a rough spot, almost like a burn. The affected skin is almost like a sunburn, but I do not go into the sun, it is year round, and the soles of my feet never get any sun. It is very sensitive. Sometimes the areas are redder than other times. Does anyone have any idea what this can be?

I was also going to suggest lupus as a possible cause. Psoriasis is autoimmune too but would not cause any neurological symptoms.

Right now I have extremely red hands and feet,both top and bottom and a blister like rash going from over my eyelids down the sides of my nose, down the sides of my mouth and over my chin. Cheeks are clear. I have had this rash for over 6 months the dermatologists has tried everything to no avail. I have fibromyalgia, lupus, a fungus in my esphogus that has had we courses of Diflucan and is still there. Could you maybe shed some light or make a suggestion.

My 16 year old daughter has lupus and anything that happens to her body that's out of the ordinary I tend to connect to lupus. She developed a skin condition around her chin and neck several months ago (not the typical butterfly rash) and I quickly made a doctor's appointment to have it checked out. If your bumps are related to lupus, then a doctor should take a look because, as you said, they might go away, but they could get worse depending how your immune system responds to them.

I have had a rash on my elbows that comes and goes for over 5 years. It appears as ring shaped bumps on my elbows and itches like crazy and often hurts. In December I believed that I has acquired a spider bite on the top of my foot because i had a bubble of fluid. At this point I had decided to go to the dermatologist and get checked out because I was tired of dealing with this rash.

Hi Terri, I also have a number of autoimmune conditions but my primary conditions are Rheumatoid Arthritis & MS. My Raynaud's is secondary to my autoimmune conditions.This comes from my fathers side of the family where there is Inflammatory bowel disease, RA, MS, different kinds of autoimmune lung disease, Psoriasis, Raynaud's, Thyroid disease & some others that I can't recall.

I have a rash in my chin that doesn't itch but it is located in both sizes of the lips corners and extended to the bottom of the chin. It is red, my skin is extremely dry and craked on that side while the rest of my face skin is ok. What it could be?

Every test imaginable has been done on me. Since the test were done in the mid 90's, I don't remember exactly what the other test were. The ANA is the one that came back 1/2 point under the positive side. That I do remember. Dr. Scott Zashin told me at the time I needed to have my symtoms treated as the came up and I needed to be monitored for LUPUS. As far as under the chin swelling, yeap, I know it is my glands and not fluid or "fat".

People with Lupus will get a "butterfly rash" across their nose and cheeks. They can also have a positive RA factor because Lupus does joint damage. Wonka is correct that it is difficult to diagnose in the beginning of the disease and you do have to meet 4 out of 11. Your levels (blood levels) will flucuate (becoming normal then abnormal when the disease is active). An ANA is a standard test for Lupus but will also come up positive for other diseases.

Some Hashis get the mouth sores and find they also have Celiac disease. Try staying away from Gluten, ALL products with gluten for a week and see if this helps. It might just help if you have any constipation or stomach pain. I'm such a hypocrite! I went gluten free for two months, and I had a bread breakdown that has lasted four days. I'm so sick now. I don't know about the mixed bag, thing.

The dry eyes and mouth sound like sjorgen's. Eye drops and lots of fluids will help. Some people also keep some hard candies handy to suck on. I have also been diagnosed with lupus, but I don't have the rash. My face will get red, but not the raised rash. I know how you are feeling. It took me 8 years to get a dx. Most drs just gave up and said they didn't know. I haven't been able to get a handle on my symptoms yet.

I'm still battling this whatever it is. I titrated down on prednisone and this (see picture) showed up on my face again. Is this a lupus rash? I can't get in to see my rheumatologist until the 15th. The oral pred has been helping my joints and skin once I got above 30mg but now that I'm down to ten I can hardly get out of bed in the morning my joints hurt like hell and I look hideous. I You should see my breasts... ugh....

I have read about it and it looks very similiar to hashimotos except the rash and skin issues. Is there anything else different besides the rash? Is it usually treated the same way hashi's is treated or graves? (or could go either way). I am just trying to learn more about this to help her where i can.

What I am wondering is it possible that I would now test positive for Lupus. What I have read on rashes that a lupus rash can show up on the face, neck, or chest. I almost want to go right now and have it checked out to see what a doctor thinks. Easier to show then describe what the rash looks like. What kind of information can you provide me that would be helpful in figuring out what is going on with me.

I am 37 and about every 4 months I get an ugly rash on my hands. They are small red /round bumps and some are not perfectly round but they hurt and they itch. I get it around my joints hands and now my elbows too. I went to dermatologist and she said it was skin lupus. Blood taken showed a small amount detected.

I have had a rash on my chin (going from near the corner of my mouth towards my jaw line) for nearly 3 months. I am pregnant (33wks) and it started out as what I though were a few little zits, I typically have extremely clear skin but just chalked it up to the pregnancy. I treated it with all the over the counter acne treatments, but after a week or two decided it must be a rash.

I was just recently diagnosed with lupus after having symptoms for 8 years. Yesterday the glands under my chin (on each side of my throat) have swollen up. The right one is bigger. and my throat is very sore. Is this a problem with lupus or is it just something like allergies. I wouldn't even be wondering about it, but I haven't even been sneezing so far this year with the pollen (very unusual). Just wondering.

Hello. I have been plagued by overwhelming fatigue, tremors, vision changes, vertigo/loss of proprioception, difficulty finding words, confusion, and limb heaviness/weakness, all of which come and go in a "relapsing" manner. I have been thoroughly evaluated for MS (MRI, VEP's, LP...all negative) and excessive labs. The only things that have come back abnormal are positive IgG EBV in spinal fluid and the connective tissue profile (blood) showed positive dsDNA but negative ANA.

t been diagnosed with lupus but my butterfly rash has been very persistent the last 6 months or so. no swelling but I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia so pain is a constant part of my life as well as chronic fatigue.

s disease was almost 2 months ago. The rash is definately worse in the sun but also seems to get worse when she is very warm. The rash is itchy and burns when I put sunscreen on her. Our dermatologist perscribed a topical steroid which seemed to make the rash worse and spread. I have many autoimmune issues and am very concerned this could be something like lupus. We return to the Dr. in 2 weeks.
