Hi

For the past year I've had a rash over my forehead, cheeks, and nose. Circular lesions, rough to the touch. They clear up with daily applications of Eumovate. My Gp couldnt diagnose so i ended up at dermatologist, who took one look and said DLE. A biopsy confirmed that, and we then took some blood to check. I didnt have any other symptoms so i expected everything to be ok, but the blood came back as negative ANA but positive DSDNA. I'm waiting to see a rheumatologist as over the past weeks ive noticed joint clicking and a bit of pain. Does this sound like SLE to you guys??

Thanks
