I am a 42 years old female and have had a rash on my right side of my face for about 8 months now. It is not itchy, nor does it exude pus, however, it is red, dry and scaly. I have seen a neurologist and am currently waiting to see a rheumatologist. However, during a blood test of dsDNA, it came out slightly high, per my doctor and ordered to be seen by a rheumatologist. However, I'm not sure what all this really means. It will be months before I can see a rheumatologist due to the location and the lack of them in my town. Can anyone tell me what this might really mean? .
