Medal issues: 4 years ago I was diagnosed with Lupus by a doctor who I was employed by. He made this diagnosis by reviewing blood work I did at his office and the rash on my face. He is a primary care physician so he did not have experience with this type of medical issues so I went to a specialist who determined I did not have lupus because my numbers were low.
My CBC was abnormal because the red blood cells were low and my wbc were high.
I am also ANA positive.
My liver enzymes were high leading to show I have some form of inflammation somewhere (my face perhaps?)
Whether I have Lupus or not, something is obviously wrong with my skin. I need help.
Medications: my Dermotologist prescribed me retin A, aczone, and finacea

looking at your picture it looks like what my friend has which is rosacea. though something that easy im sure your dr or dermatologist wouldve already noted that.

With the rash and positive ANA I would consider seeing a Rheumatologist.
