Lesions on my fingers are what led to my diagnosis. My dermatologist at the time prescribed a steroid cream that cleared them up. She was quick to suspect SLE after asking me several questions and told me to see a rheumatologist.

I just developed itchy lesions like that all over my body. It started on my neck, then went down both arms, legs, and stomach. I've never had itchy, tender lesions on my fingertips before. I evidently just had a methotrexate reaction. I have at times had Groton's papules on my fingers, but now always wear gloves outside in the yard, so getting them is rare now for me. I do get a more purple, heliotrope rash on my face now in addition to the hard Tumid Lupus bumps, calcium deposits, and the large crop circle looking Tumid lesions which are soft and don't hurt like the deeper, nodule like things. I used to get calcium deposits on my finger tips and odd places on my back. My sister and mother both get calcium deposits on their legs. If it itches, it might be hives (a reaction to something, be it medication, etc.). This is where my methotrexate rash started on my neck. My husband took the picture, so I contorted my neck a bit so he could take the shot. The lesions cluster like that on my stomach too and itch. They are more spread out on my limbs and hands.

yeah, I’m most of the time I get any rash. It’s usually from the sun good luck and if your rheumatologist doesn’t give you anything maybe you can go see a dermatologist. This works really well.

All the time, I used get big ones one my back, arms, legs, even in my head around my ears. It may be sun exposure.
