Yes!!!! Mind comes out of nowhere and I get it on my lower right leg pretty routinely every few months. Comes and goes. Looks exactly like this. Was recently diagnosed with SLE due to positive ANA but waiting 4 months to get in with Rheumatologist!

Could it possibly be a drug allergy? I had the rash on leg as well as cellulitis when the doctor kept putting me on Gabapentanoids for pain.

Rheumatologist said to got to dermatologist. Just one big circle!
