Just to explain I moved the skin posts from the thread on Tests and Procedures. Meryl and I have the same diagnosis SCLE but it is clear from her description that hers is different from mine in many ways. Mine was on my face except for one at the top of the vee of the neck . It itched like crazy and was often very sore and sensitive indeed. When it was attacking my upper lip that really hurt. From time to time I had blisters probably rather like Meryl describes but otherwise it was a mix of the scaley plaques and a couple of bright red wavy rings with dead white centres.
There are 48 pics of SCLE on the German site but not one that resembles mine. Some of them don't look to me any different from a malar rash.

The four people with SCLE whom I have met in real life didn't look remotely like me either.
Even knowledgable doctors can't always tell what sort of rash it is by looking at the live thing let alone at pictures.
Meryl, to locate a lupus T shirt I suggest you google for them. One major source of 'funny' Tshirts and other items is a commercial site and we don't allow links to those. Giving the sources in a PM is fine of course.
Links to items being sold by the major national lupus support &awareness organisations such as LupusUK the LFA, the LRI , St Thomas' and such is fine.
I keep forgetting how to post photos on the site but I think there are instructions on the Tech and test section. Very likely someone will respond here.
Cheers
