New in here and suspect I have Dermatomyositis.

I just came across this site and I know it's been long time since anyone wrote on this thread but I wanted to check in with all of you about the dermatomyositis.

I am 53 years old and have Primary Biliary Cholangitis auto immune liver disease, Hashimoto's thyroid and the last 10 months, started having an itchy rash on the sides of my eyes that get red and then scaly, and the last two weeks, my neck feels itchy and has few rashes. First I thought it was caused from wearing masks, since it started around that time but I am suspicious of dermatomyositis from the pictures I've seen. I'm always terrified of going to doctors but will schedule a visit with a dermatologist. I don't have any joint pain or itching any other areas. Just wanted to vent and also ask you how you are all doing?

thank you
