Can anyone comment on their skin issues they have associated with lupus or mixed connective tissue disease? I have itchy skin, red spots, broken red capillaries everywhere on face and body, itchy white bumps that pop up on top of my feet when I go into a lupus flare up, and all over my body pop up these brown flaky moles that sometimes I can even scratch off my skin, they sit on the top surface of my skin on my breast areas or arm areas mostly. My head and scalp gets bumps in it and it itches all the time. Anybody else have any of these same problems? I feel so alone on these skin issues. I’m waiting for my insurance to cover a dermatologist in my area. 🥲🥲🥲

I have had a rash on both of my arms for like 4 months now and in the sun they get SOOO itchy!!! I also have a horrible itchy scalp that get sores and red bumps on them and it even gets super scabby even if I go like a week without scratching. So weird.

omg me too!! i struggle with flaky patches and lots of itchy dry skin, i also get the bumps on my scalp and on my arms. it’s frustrating to deal with since i struggle a ton with skin picking as a result of ocd, for years though i’ve found “slugging” like another comment mentioned helps, and to combat picking i use bandaids and acne patches to discourage myself and keep infections to a minimum.

I've started "slugging" at night, putting on a cervae ointment on at night to keep moisturized and its been really working for me.
Hey! For me, the itching is so frustrating too. I get random intense itching feeling usually on my things and calf’s as well as near my arm pits at my side, then when I do itch my skin usually breaks out in hives. I also have those flakey mole things around my breast bone and I have two on my right arm. One of the more recent things I’ve noticed in the last couple years is the skin on my legs is always a blotchy reddish white flakey pattern. I’ve also notice that my acne now instead of being like normal pimples turns into like deep sores that now scar anytime I try to slightly pop them
