Quite frequently I have been getting these painful sores or blisters on my face that take quite some time to heal. They start out as hard very painful red bumps and eventually become open-sores 1.5cm in diameter. They have mostly shown up on the left-hand side of my face and neck, primarily around the jaw line on my face. As the bumps progress, some swelling below the skin occurs as if it were an infection.
At first, I thought it was just adult acne or infected hairs, but just the other day I woke up and had what looked like a painless/itch-less 'butterfly rash' on the opposite side of my face that went away as the day progressed. Are these signs of lupus?
I have tried all sorts of facial cleansers, acne treatments, even tea tree and cedar oil with no avail!
Best wishes,
Thomas
