Do i have lupus?
i have a skin rash that is on my stomach, arms and back. i was tested for autoimmune, my doc thinks i am negative, however i had a ANA of 1:160, pattern of mixed: homogenous %26amp; speckled, and had an ESR of 4. i'm not sure if these values are good, or should i see a specialist?|||You should see a specialist. Lupus is hard to diagnose. It falls under a larger umbrella of autoimmune disorders. Look up lupus symptoms on www.webmd.com.; this should not take the place of a visit to the specialist but it will give you an idea of what to look for and questions to ask the doctor when you see him.|||See a dermatologist first and consider a rheumatologist next. A person can have a negative ANA and still have lupus. Skin involvement is diagnose by biopsy. There is NO DEFINITIVE lab test for lupus. Your doc "thinks" you are negative? Interesting. In the mean time stay out of the sun, period. Best wishes.|||You will need to see a Rheumatologist. They specialize in Lupus and all arthritis.
