Rash:feet and hands

I have solar and palmar rashes which (apparently!) are classic textbook Lupus type. For years and years these used to come and go very rapidly such that I never really thought anything of them - just assumed they were some sort of skin allergy, of which I have many.

I've now had them constantly for about three years. Does anyone have these or know anything about them? Are they about having a flare or do people have them for ever? I am still trying to work out when exactly I am supposed to be flaring! Not getting very far! None of my blood tests are helpful.

I have asked the Rheumatologist but she just say they are nothing to worry about. I know that...............!

I would be very grateful for any ideas.
