Lupus Rashes | Butterfly & Discoid
Let’s talk about rashes and lupus!
The butterfly rash typically appears red, raised, and occasionally scaly, and its distinguishing feature is that it does not affect the nasal folds located just beneath the sides of the nose. Many lupus patients have found that the appearance of the rash signals an impending disease flare-up.
Discoid lesions are typically thick and scaly, obstruct hair follicles, predominantly appear on sun-exposed skin (although they can occur in non-exposed areas as well), tend to result in scarring, and typically do not cause itchiness.
