I just stumbled across some pictures of dermatomyositis on wikipedia, and I was rather shocked. This looks so very similar to what my mother has, that it is eery. So do you think that she has got dermatomyositis, or are there any other diseases that look similar to dermatomyositis, or the same? Please help me here!

None of us have seen the rash that your mother has got, so you will be able to understand that we cannot really help you with any relevant comments. If your mothers skin looks like the picture of dermatomyositis that you saw on wikipedia, and especially if she has any other matching symptoms, it is of course possible that this is what she has. Please tell her to see a doctor.

Hello there urban1579,
In my opinion it would be best to take your mother to the doctor. Most of the rashes all look alike and it is very hard for the doctors to determine what is what and sometimes they need to do additional tests to get to the right diagnosis. So, your diagnosing your mother’s condition based on pictures you have seen on the internet can’t be reliable at all.
I hope that your mother’s doctor will know the solution at first sight (if he does that usually means that nothing serious is in question). Please, keep us posted about your mother’s condition and good luck.
