Do Symptoms Of Lupus Include Rashes On Arms, Groin And Legs?

MY husband has been to the Dr. several times in the last month, he had developed a rash mainly in the arms and trunk, groin, legs, and back...not so much on his face...the Dr. has tested him for mono and strep, but we thought of lupus today. Is it hereditary? His grandmother and sister and immediate cousin has this.

Yes, it is possible that SLE can present with skin rashes all over body without involvement of face. But does he got other features of sle, like hair fall, arthritis, oral ulcers, blood problems etc. Just because family history is positive, one cannot level as sle for only one feature. One thing is more, sle is not common in male. Male female ratio of sale is 1:6. I would like to keep your first diagnosis is infection as like your doctor.
Hope this is helpful.
