Lupus Lesions

[Guest guest]

Could some one please tell me what a Lupus lesion looks like; One that's on the skin other than the face. If possible, maybe you can direct me to an actual picture?

It was diagnosed about 2 years ago but have had the lesions for about 15 years or so. If you are like me they were diagnosed as everything from hives to ring worm. Welcome to the group.

Mine normally start out looking almost like a pimple. These occur on

my back, arms, chest and neck. I have only had a couple on my face.

Then they will become round red patches that as they get larger they

will clear in the center and become round rings of raised red tissue.

They will itch and burn at times. Sometimes they will come and go

very quickly, in a matter of days. Some of the ones on my back and

arms have lasted for up to 6-8 weeks. If you will go to Lupus.com

you should be able to do a search and find the pictures that you are

looking for. If you can't find them there let me know and I will see

if I can locate a site for you.
