I have a butterfly rash on my face and a positive ana test. a rheumatologist said he doesn't think it's lupus. should i get a second opinion?

It's your right: to have a second opinion, and trust your rheumatologist too, Lupus isn't an easy disease to be confirmed, there are certain criteria for the diagnosis, rheumatologist are expert at such, good luck
