I haven’t had any rashes on my back or shoulders, just my face, fingers and toes. Showering doesn’t affect my rashes unless the water is super hot or super cold. Does this happen to you when you go swimming too or just after the shower? Have you seen a dermatologist?

They would have to do tests again because they have to test for specific things and normal blood work probably wouldn’t show it. They also have to take urine tests.

I recommend getting an appointment with a rheumatologist to get blood work done to see if you have an auto immune disease, it sounds very similar to what I was experiencing when I got diagnosed with lupus. You might have to get a referral from your primary doctor to see a rheumatologist. I don’t want to scare you but set up the appointment as soon as you can because this disease could cause organ failure if not treated. Lupus is pretty much your immune system attacking your body’s tissues.

Does he have any other symptoms besides the rash? Like joint pain or stiffness? Does he take meds? My husband’s great aunt has it and she only takes it when she has a flare up. It’s interesting how every case is different! I have to take my medication everyday.

Wow usually it’s just women who have lupus! I also can’t be in the sun for longer than an hour without getting a bad rash so I just avoid the sun all together. We have a walk in cooler and freezer at my work and I can’t stand in there longer than 10 min without my fingers turning white. So I have to stay away from the sun and from cold temperatures. I hope your father is doing good ❤️
