Thanks for these links. The photos are exactly what I was looking

for. I do know what the procedure is for a scalp biopsy; it is not

something that I would want unless absolutely necessary though.

I did manage to find a different dermatologist that I do not have to

wait all month for.

You're welcome, Jodi.

I'm not advocating that everyone with a rash on his or her head rush

to do a tissue biopsy, but if you suspect lupus, you've been

undiagnosed for a long time, and it's possibly the difference between

a diagnosis and no diagnosis, it's a good choice.

Glad you can see a dermatologist sooner.

Thanks. Ironically I have the appointment right after my

rheumatologist appointment. I wonder if this means the plaquenil is

not working. It seems to be helping with the joint issues though.
