Butterfly Rash
Posted: 05-16-08 09:15am

How prominent of a rash is the butterfly rash? I just wonder if I have this, I have a slight red pigmentation across my cheeks and over the bridge of my nose. I am rarely out in the sun. If I wasnt looking for it, I wouldnt think anything of it. Does anyone have any opinions?? Thanks for your help.

I'm interested in the answer you receive too. I notice mine is more noticeable after a hot shower? Yours too?

My ANA is 1:160 and I have significant protein in the urine, along with a lot of joint pain. I haven't been tested beyond this -- but if it is a lupus rash I'm seeing, this would be 4 of the 11 criteria for me. Like you, though I'm not sure if my rash is the "lupus" rash.

Hoping you get an answer and good luck.
