Diseases & Conditions - 19 October 2007

I have a 12 month old son who had a flesh colored, pimple look-a-like (but no puss or excessively raised) growth on his cheek, which started to appear about 10 days ago. He had it for a couple of days and one day it turned red and had seemed to have grown. I scheduled to have him checked out that day and the doctor looked at him for litterally 3 minutes and claimed the lesion to be eczema (eventhough he never once scratched that spot or seemed to appear to be itchy there). She gave him some atopic dermatitis creme and said it should dissapear in 4 days,2 days later (today) the skin and the lesion just seem to have gotten more agetated and the redness seems to have spread. I think the creme is too harsh for his skin and it doesn't seem to help. I am going to bring him to the doctor again today, but I was wondering if anyone had any clue or any info on what this could be. The lesion right now is pretty flat and red, but if you look closely the center is more yellow than red...

I might have Lupus. I alwys have a fatigue (it's such a drag), my body is always exhausted. It is a struggle just to move from one room to another. I get out of breath very easily, just from walking to the kitchen to the dining room. I feel like I just ran 10 miles. Is this a symptom of Lupus, or autoimmune disease.

And, yes, I am seeing a rheumatologist, but he's not very good at listening and helping!
