ok i posted about this earlier this year and a few people have said erythromalalgia, which was actually then brought up by a dermatologist who said « there’s no reason to diagnose you with it because there’s no cure » so i’m sure that is what the red burning is. an allergy doctor then diagnosed me with “chronic urticaria” which was then said to be untrue by a new family doctor. i’m currently in the process of testing for lupus, as every woman the paternal side of my family has lupus alongside other autoimmune diseases (sjorgens and RA) i come here to ask the internet if you guys have any idea what it could be. 

my symptoms and flares show up like this-
for about 1-4 months at a time i will get nightly burning swollen itchy rashes, particularly on the tops of my hands and fingers, my nose and my chin/jaw. it’ll start small and spread writhing 10 minutes and stick around for about an hour. when i’m in a period of flare ups i will have some nights that are worse then others where i get chills, shakes and aches alongside the rash, as well as this overwhelming fatigue that makes me feel like i can’t move. this most recent flare has also been accompanied with a large bought of hair loss (general thinning of the whole scalp with extreme thinning along the hair line and around the ears) an inability to gain weight, reoccurring and hard to control infections (multiple utis, YI’s and a stubborn sinus infection) severely dry eyes, swollen painful joints and stomach upset (random bouts of vomiting, diarrhea and nausea) 
i also get the same hot painful rash alll over my body during moments of extreme stress. 

please help a girl out! i’ve attached some photos showing how fast the flares spread, with the two photos of my right hand being taken 10 minutes apart. as well as what the rash flare up looks like on my face. 

burning flare ups consistently for a year
