File size is too bigimageI am a 22 year old female and last month I noticed pain in my elbow and a tiny red spot. This spot began to itch and it would hurt (mostly from setting my elbows on the desk at work) and it began to grow and as it grew white flakes would appear. It went away on its own. Then about three weeks later it is back with all the same symptoms. This time it is getting bigger. I am concerned because I am ANA positive titre 1:640 speckled with no diagnosis. I have joint pain and a slew of other symptoms and was told I have incomplete SLE. Is it possible this is psoriasis and psoFile size is too bigriatic arthritis?File size is too bigimageFile size is too big
