Antichromatin antibodies

Hello im inquiring if anyone could provide some insight on something. Does anyone know if a having an allergic reaction to sulpha drugs could possibly cause someone to develop sle lupus. I have this allergy and found to be allergic at around 10 but didn't start displaying signs and symptoms until my mid 20's. About a year ago I ordered myself just your basic ANA test which came back negative. But a few weeks ago I was tested for Antichromatin antibodies and my results were < 0.2 which my primary said was normal and my bloodwork was not cause for concern. A few months ago I started taking linsinopril hctz and last week I developed this sore on my shoulder and can't recall hitting it into anything to have caused this and when drying off from my shower the top layer of skin came then became extremely sore. From what I've read I can't help thinking that this is a drug induced reaction and was on linsinopril with the loop diuretic before and been having bouts of inflamation in various other parts of my body for years more so since starting the med.
