Hi April,
This could be totally unrelated to aps and lupus. Hard to know since both can cause weird things to happen. It may have something to do with sun exposure. My sister gets this, there is a name for it but I cant remember, and she doesnt have APS or Lupus. Mention it to your rheumy when you see them.

Hi
I wanted to tell you I too get these bumps when I go in the sun. Sometimes just from the heat but I only seam to get it in the top part of my back/neck and on my arms. They are red, more red the more I itch them but sometimes they dont itch. They are very bothersome. I do have lupus and APS so I dont know if they are from them or not but I am supost to go and get them biopsied but everytime I make an appointment they go away. I know they are frustrating but try and not itch them and I tried a cordazone creme and it helped not just with the itching but help them go away. I hope this helps more than confusing you
Lots of love

Thank you. I don't know what they are but i do know lupus causes photosensitivity. Maybe i will sit in the sun for a few minutes before i go to the Rheumatologist next week! They don't usually itch. They just bother me. I usually get them on the backs of my arms too kristaus but i also get them on my legs and abdomen.
