See below: If there is a question of whether or not you have lupus, you should see a rheumatologist.

Time for diagnosis: You have three questions to ask the dermatologist. 1. Do i need further testing to arrive at a definite diagnosis? 2. What is the diagnosis? 3. What treatment is indicated? If you get vague answers, seek another opinion.
