At a loss, multiple consultations still no answer...any idea?

Hello @terri672.
When I went for a consultation with a dermatologist they diagnosed me with rosacea. As I've not been out as often due to how I've been the rash isn't as severe as it was. So it would seem that the sun triggers it. I do think there's more to it - where a rhumatologist would have a better chance of diagnosing it.

I’m supposed to avoid the sun due to one of my anti rejection meds, as it can contribute to skin cancer. So, typically I do. But I’ve been working in my garden in the early morning and later afternoon, when the UV is lower. I developed a rash over my arms both times. I discovered that Sjogren’s can cause it. So, maybe rashes are one of those odd things that can occur with different autoimmune diseases?
Glad yours is better!
