Have you tried the camouflage makeup Covermark or Dermablend - they are amazing!

These support groups could be helpful too.

I have severe rash on my face after stopping taking the plaquenil. I have tried
everything it has been on my face now for 2 years ... so i started taking the
plaquenil again 2 weeks ago. It seems to be helping rash to go down a little .
Also , I now changed from over counter skin products to ... baking soda paste with a little olive oil to clean my face... only olive oil to moisturize my face ... and castile soap added occasionally to lather hair and face ... helping so far ... try sea breeze also occasionally.

I am not sure if mine are going to scar or not ... but the olive oil as a moisturizer has no chemicals in it and it doesnt stay oily and doesnt clog pores ... feels wonderful... try it...
