Hello. Thank you for writing.

Dermatomyositis usually occurs in adults from the late 40s to early 60s, but can also occur in children. Females are most affected.

Symptoms include a dusky red rash on the face and eyelids, and in areas around the nails, knuckles, elbows, knees, chest, and back. Muscle weakness is frequent.  What has your doctor recommended? 

Treatment includes medication or other therapies. More information here:
