I use a healing ointment (CeraVe) and a CBD healing cream. The steroid creams and itch cream rary work for some reason for me. I also to cool rags to help with itching. Mine stay a while too. <br/><br/><br/>~Racquel~ <a href='http://lupus.net' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer ugc'>lupus.net</a> team member</p>

Did your rheumatologist or did your dermatologist prescribe the meds? Have they discussed treatment together? Maybe a stronger cream is needed? I hope your doctors are able to offer you a better solution.<br/><br/><br/>Best,<br/>Geri<br/>lupus.net, team member</p>

      <p><inline-mention username="Cazmarglom" user-id="6620835"/> I’m so sorry sometimes lupus lesions can last a long time. I use healing ointment (cerave and aquaphor) to calm those down. They are heavier that eye creams and seem to help with my lesions. Check with your doctor and maybe see a dermatologist that can give more help with it. ~Racquel~ <a href='http://lupus.net' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer ugc'>lupus.net</a> team member </p>

   <p>I have what looks like the same rash as in your picture. I get it on my shins just above my ankles. Have you tried OTC cortisone cream? I apply it after showering and it does take the itch away. The cortisone also gets rid of those little lesions. I use it for 2-3 days and the flare subsides. It will come back after a period of days or weeks and I’ll need to reapply. I’ve noticed that the affected areas seem to be permanently discolored by this rash.</p>
