Hi. I have lupus too and also am on Plaquenel. \nDon't keep scrubbing your face. That will only make it worse. Use a gentle moisturizer. I use on by Mark. that is very light. Maybe try using a gentle cleanser like Cetaphil too.

SOUNDS LIKE AN ALERGIC REACTION TO SOMETHING IN THE LOTION.  IF YOU USE IT AND HAVE PROBLEM'S TRY TAKING A BENADRYL PILL. IF THAT STOP'S IT THEN YOU KNOW YOUR ALERGIC TO IT.

Lupus (systemic lupus erythematosus, or SLE) is a chronic disease that can cause inflammation, pain, and tissue damage throughout the body. Lupus is an autoimmune disease, in which a person's immune system attacks its own tissues as though they were foreign substances. If you develop serious lupus, you may have problems with your kidneys, heart, lungs, or blood cells. \n\nAlthough some people with lupus have mild symptoms, the disease can become severe. For most people, ongoing monitoring and treatment can control symptoms and prevent serious organ damage. \n\nThere are five types of lupus erythematosus: systemic, discoid/cutaneous, subacute cutaneous, drug-induced systemic, and neonatal. This topic focuses on systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), the most common and serious type of lupus. \n\nWhat are lupus symptoms like?\nLupus symptoms vary widely, and they come and go. Common symptoms are fatigue, joint pain or swelling (arthritis), fever, and skin rash (especially with sun exposure). Mouth sores and hair loss may occur. Over time, people with lupus develop nervous system symptoms, most commonly migraine headaches. Periods of time when symptoms worsen are called relapses or flares. Periods of time when symptoms improve are called remissions. Lupus symptoms rarely disappear completely.

I don't know if you been tested for lupus.Or if this is a self diagnoses. This is not a disease you should seek treatment for over the phone or advise really. You should seek an immunologist. I think this is a disease that there is only treatment no cure. How ever while your waiting to see an immunologist life style is important no alcohol or other vices. You need to eat right exercise and get plenty of sleep. The immune system is effected buy all this factor. Don't worry its not that bad. Your body should heel its self if you let it.

I hope you shall feel better.\nYour skin sensitivity could be due to your immune system fighting/isolating the wrong thing. You should definitely see your doctor, even an over the phone conversation with your doc. could help you get a better understanding of the situation.\nAll the best

I want you to get yourself - F.A.S.T. to a  Skin Specialist! Steroids are so,so, dangerous to take continually and it appears they are not working. I do not wish to alarm you, but I believe you have a  "strep" virus. This virus, if it invades your blood stream can/and has killed. My mother had the same symptoms as you have. Is it itchy? I bet it is. They treated my mother with steroids and prednisone - but this "virus" entered her blood stream and after 4-days in a coma, God took my mother HOME. Get a handle on this "rash" NOW. It could be the "flesh eating disease", which has been in our countries/hospitals for over 20-years. A test is simple - it is called a "culture and sensitivity" - swabs will be taken of the infection and cultured and allowed to grow for a minimum of 48-hr, then the Bacteriologist will test different antibiotics for the most effective. Get this TEST right away! and don't put this off. A prolonged use of steroids will effect your health in many Negative ways. Good Luck and take my advice.

It is seen in systemic lupus erythematosus, esp. after the patient's face has been exposed to sunlight, and in seborrheic dermatitis, tuberous sclerosis, and dermatomyositis.

Cucumbers on the eyes, or a wet teabag. Use Visine as well to get rid of the redness.\n\nPS: I hope you will be ok. Sorry for whatever happened to you.

Could be a fungal infection, the body is prone to these when depressed, you will know if the soreness is very red and has a sticky (sweaty) feel to it. This is also contributed to by being overweight, and can effect the groin, belly button, and other folds of skin. If the rash has a lot of flaky skin it could also be a local psoriasis, which can also be brought on by depression. \n\nIf it is fungal canesten HC is one of the best solutions, but long term use is not recommended. If it is psoriasis ask your doctor if he can prescribe Dovobet. \n\nOn top of this use an unperfumed soap, use a lfannel and shower every day, wash your flannel after, and change your clothing regularly to prevent spread and reinfection.

This question should be for your personal doctor because no one else could give you an adequate answer without a complete understanding of your medical history. Please consult your physician. Lupus is a very complese immune disorder and no advice from people without your complete history should be taken.\n\nGood luck, I wish you the best.

When you mentioned that you exercised 5 times a week......do you think you have any environmental allergies from the outside? That would cause redness in your eyes. An Eye, Nose and Throat doctor could help you there. And, are you around smoking very much? That has a contributing factor.\nGood luck in finding out...

It sounds like it could be yeast-related.  There are many treatments for it.  I would highly recommend going to a holistic doctor.  Allopathic physicians will give you steroid creams that damage the skin and can cause other adverse reactions.  A holistic doctor will help you to balance any imbalances in your system that are causing your skin to act out in this way and help you to heal yourself naturally.
