Hi. I have recently been diagnosed with skin lupus. My dermatologist says it looks unusual and didn't know for sure what type it is i.e. doesn't look like discoid or some other more common types and I have had a small rash of it before and it healed without scarring after some months. My bloods are all normal and lupus band test is negative on biopsy but pathologist says it looks like lupus. I have checked out online photos and to me it absolutely looks like tumid lupus along with some other features of the pathology which fit this diagnosis.
I am currently trying topical steroids to see if they are enough (along with vitamin d and fish oil) but I think I will need to try hydroxychloroquine soon which is what my dermatologist is suggesting next. For those with this condition on plaquinil, do you take it all the time or just in summer or when you get a rash etc? Will it clear an existing rash? Have you had any luck just managing it topically? Thank you!
I was diagnosed with Tumid Lupus by my dermatologist a little over a year ago. I started getting these lesions all over my body. They looked like ringworm but they weren’t itchy really. They were just little red rings and didn’t peel or scar. Just would appear and disappear. I was treated with fungal cream for months until finally I got a skin biopsy done and they came back with TLE.
I don’t take anything for it expect for some cream every now and then. I’ve learned to control it by being aware of my sun exposure and changing up my sunscreen. But just a change in weather (dry or super hot weather) can make it flare up.
Other than that I’ve sort of been left in the dark about it. It’s super rare and so there isn’t much info on it. I’ve also always gotten a negative ANA and I know my chances of it developing into SLE is very low. But it’s frustrating nonetheless.
Does anyone else have this diagnosis?

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
They were cooked in Greece.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
They’re on standbi
A play on words.
My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Or would that be too forward thinking?
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

When I got home, they were still there.
I won't be doing that today!
Hindus, on the other hand, never had any beef.
