Common Questions and Answers about Itchy rash lupus
rash
Out of curiosity, have you ever been tested for lupus? One of the symptoms can be sun sensitivity and a rash that occurs after sun exposure. The rash you've described is one that I get with my lupus if I've been out in the sun and have forgotten my sunblock (DOH!)
If you do go to get tested for lupus, try and spend some time in the sun before going for the bloodwork - most ideally some time the day before the test and then at least 1/2 hour the day of.
My daughter has always had a face that got very red in the sun, especially under her eyes...even w/ sun screen. This summer she has had a bout of fifth's disease and now has the same sun sensitivity and an itchy rash on her arms and behind her knees. The fifth's disease was almost 2 months ago. The rash is definately worse in the sun but also seems to get worse when she is very warm. The rash is itchy and burns when I put sunscreen on her.
Argh, that's worrisome. I agree to see a doctor. I'm not sure how easy or difficult that is in your location. But important. Since you mentioned lyme disease, I thought I'd give some information on that. Here is the Center for Disease Control's info on it. https://www.cdc.gov/lyme/index.html Do you ever remember seeing a 'bullseye' shaped marking? That often happens if you get lyme from a tic.
After her surgery, she developed a rash behind her operative leg. Rash was very itchy and then spread to her entire body. She felt not only itching but burning. Was taking antihestimines with no relieve. After numerous visits to her surgeon, a dermatologist swabbed her incision and test came back positive for staph and MRSA. After numerous visits to her surgeon, he agreed to go back in and clean area and culture .

Ulcerative colitis, and about the time i was experiencing a flare up, i noticed this weird rash on my faceFace pain, which the ER doctor called a butterfly rash.
I have an itchy pimple like rash that is spreading all over my body. To my knowledge this is the third time I have had it but this time seems to be the worst. The area starts to really itch then turns into little pimples. Nothing OTC seems to help. The only relief I have is if I dot nailpolish over it. Seems to help. The rash is in the arm pit, chest, back, under the breast, sides of torso and is working it's way down. Some have already appeared in groin area and legs.
Hello,
The picture was unclear but such an itchy rash which is spreading fast can be due to a viral or fungal infection. You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin. You can take some OTC oral antihistamine medications like Benadryl or Claritin and see if it helps.
However to confirm the diagnosis I suggest you to get it evaluated from a dermatologist.
A recent bone marrow biopsy showed no sign of cancer or development of myeloma. Years ago I was tested for lupus and the ANA came back indicating lupus, but since the symptoms were subtle at that time, they did not treat me for lupus. All tests since then come back negative for lupus.
Despite normal test results in re: to lupus, is it still a possibility, and is there a connection between lupus and monoclonal protein that can explain my symptoms?
No it goes from under her nose to her chin, not on her cheeks.
i got what i through was a heat rash on the backs of my legs. the rash has since spead to the front of my legs, back, stomach, and arms. the rash itches like no tomorrow. i have gone to the er twice and my doc once. they are sending me to a dermatolog but by then i will have had the rash for three months. i have taken three types of pills for it as well as used cream nothing helps. the rash is getting worse and i just want the itching to quit.
but today iv had a weird little rash on my hands, mostly just one hand. Its like tiny circular little dots. It looks abit like a stingingnettle sting, but it doesnt hurt and isnt itchy at all.
Iv been having joint pain and its weird the rash is mostly just over my knuckles/MCPs, and iv been getting pain on the palm side of there. Iv also been wonderig if i could have lupus, so dont know if this could be anything.
I have been experiencing these Itchy-bee-sting like sensations all over my body, and when I say all over my body, I don't mean all at the one time, it's more of a periodic type of sensation that just 'pops' up in different places around my body, for example; I just had one on my leg, then 5 seconds later I got one on my stomach, and then my foot. These prickle/stings that I feel do not have any visual symptoms, such as bumps rash, etc.
under skin on palm of hand peeling of fingertip skin accompanied by tingling sensation in fingertips, very itchy and it hurts as he says there is a family history of severe eczema and of lupus Can you give us some insight as to what this might be
Hello,
Sudden appearance of an itchy rash on generalized body parts is suggestive of some viral infection. Apply calamine lotion on these bumps and you can take some OTC oral antihistamine medications like Benadryl or Claritin and see if it helps.
Also take some acetaminophen if there is a fever.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
m not a Doctor but I do have Fibromyalgia and the Lupus and the only rash that I have gotten is from the Lupus but lately my husband has gotten a rash and so have I (and not a normal lupus rash) he went to see his Doctor and she told his that it can be a few things 1. the detergent we use to wash clothes, 2. soap that we use to wash our bodies, 3. The cold weather can dry up our bodies and that can cause use to itch and break out in a rash.
Have you ever been tested for Lupus?
There are two important symptoms that I want you to pay attention to:
1) the rash is ONLY affecting ONE eye. This is weird. Usually allergies affect both eyes.
2) It's WRINKLY. The wrinkledness is NOT from scratching or contact; I've been careful not to touch or rub my eyelids.
3) The small region of flaky, wrinkly skin, the size of a pea, appeared under my brow maybe more than a week ago and stayed that way for several days until spreading.
My daughter developed a circular shaped rash on her upper arm, the outer part of the rash was somewhat dark and the inside of the rash started reddish but then turned very light. She had only this one for about 3 months, then they started appearing on her arms, legs, and back. She also started getting a rash that wasn't circular on her limbs and trunk, in addition to her face. All of the rashes got worse with sun exposure. A few months after this, she started losing her hair in two spots.
