Pulmonologist 's  Response
Hello,

Skin lesion with lung infiltration seen with connective tissue diseases (CTD) and pneumonia. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done ANA (antinuclear antibody) titer and profile to rule out CTD. Get done CT thorax and bronchoscopy for pneumonia. You may need antibiotics if it is pneumonia. You may need immunosuppressive therapy if it is CTD.



Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Kaushal Bhavsar
