Malar rash with fibro?

i'm back because I realize when I start feeling bad my face also looks like I have a rash with tiny little postule like bumps on both sides of my nose and at the same time my nose is redder. It's not roscae because it only happens every couple of months and then I start feeling better and having trouble with joint pain. I also have large red welt marks on the tops of my arms - it looks like sunburn. This sound familiar to anyone? Are they fibro symptoms?

    Hi sandybug,

    i get a really annoying rash on my chin which started as little bumps and now have sort of gone a bit like psoriasis. I wondered whether it was related to Fibro. Another charming symptom that looks like I've got a beard rash. Can't think why I'm single!

    itts impossible to get everything treated I find for whatever our health problems are you get eight minutes and you are only allowed one problem at a time. I'd be in the doctors everyday with every problem. 

    I hope you get an answer,they don't seem to have a clue  what they are doing at the doctors or anything about fibromyalgia. 

    Best of luck and hope it clears up 

    xx

      Thank you! It usually clears up in about 3 weeks. It used to happen about 4 times a year, but it's happening more frequently now

    Hi Sandybug

    Can certainly relate to this.  I saw dermatologist and she said definitely rosacea and prescribed a cream and it works!  Mine only happens occasionally (usually just before I need to look reasonably normal for some occasion). Strangely mine only happens down the right hand side of my face.  Don't you just love fibro - the condition that just keeps on giving.

      Lol, that's the attitude maggers, I always said it would take more than an hour to write all the symptoms of my fibromyalgia because I believe everyone has different stages of symptoms, some more severe than others. I find a new symptom at least once a month. No cure yippee, aren't we all lucky 😉

      Got to laugh otherwise we would never get up in the morning. My mantra

      I have seen better days

      but I have also seen worse

      I do not have everything I want

      but I have all I need

      I woke up with some aches and pains

      but at least I woke up

      my life may not be perfect

      but I am blessed.

      By blessed I consider it that we have access to each other on here for sharing the good and the not so good. Can you imagine how many trees would need to die to complete the list of symptoms! Don't think the list would ever be complete because someone would come up with something else to add.  This is why the medics just wash their hands of us and leave us to sort it out for ourselves.

      I'm upbeat today because the sun is shining and I have a day off work - going for a gentle stroll with the dogs.
