Should A Rheumatologist Be Consulted For Pain In Joints?

My 24 year old daughter has been complaining of joint pain on both sides of her body. She went to a med clinic .The Doctor said she had poly arthritis . Last night she had a red rash on her cheeks and nose. She has Hashimptos thyroiditis since she was17. My twin sister, my brother and I all have it too. Does this sound like SLE. Should we see a Rheumatologist ? Rr
