Do I have lupus?

I have a skin rash that is found in the stomach, arms and back. i was tested for autoimmune, my doc thinks I am negative, however I had an ANA of 1:160, the mixture pattern: homogeneous, speckled, and had an ESR of 4. I'm not sure if these values are good, or should I see a specialist?
