SLE skin issues?

I have SLE, plus a number of other AIs. One thing I can't get an answer about is this: My shoulders and back, sometimes legs, get little bumps all over them. They look like solid little whiteheads--not squishy. I can scrub them off or rub them off, but they're back the next day. I have NO IDEA what they are. Ideas? Does anyone else have these? They don't itch or hurt, but they're sure persistent.

    Unfortunately skin issues are one of the most common complications of Lupus.
    I'm hoping others might chime in to share a similar experience.
    In the meantime, I thought I'd share this article that may provide some help: https://lupus.net/skin.
    I wish you all the best as you try to find some answers (and relief).
