Im new to this whole diagnosis and I dont see the rheumatalogist til Dec 16th.

I have these red blotches on my arms, legs, chest (like right across my upper ribs) and some on my back. Theres not a lot of them but I keep noticing new ones. They arent bites or anything.

No. I cant figure out what they are. The docs said I can get random blotches on my skin but this is the first time since my diagnosis.

I have had red spots, I have APS and SLE, and had Petechiae. Here is a link to the Mayo Clinic that might help. I hope it gets better soon. I know if you are on a blood thiner, it is a common problem.
