Hi ther dose anyone know can you get rashes on other parts of body with lupus ?

Yes, you can. I have systemic lupus, not discoid lupus. I do not have the "butterfly" rash, but have had other weird lupus skin issues. For example, when having a painful flare-up, for some reason my lower legs around my ankles turn bright red. It's not an itchy, raised rash -- it looks like a sunburn. I also get a rash on my chest, which looks like a scarlet fever rash, kinda. Sometimes I will get a red, kind of scattered rash on the tops of my forearms. But everyone is different.... those are just the ones that I have that I have been told by my rheumy doc are related to my lupus flare-ups. Good luck.

Yes you do.

Discoid lupus is a type of lupus that tends to be confined to the skin and other organs in the body are not involved. Discoid lupus occurs in patches across the body. These patches tend to be well defined, thickened and scaly, they are slightly red in colour and can itch. The appearance can vary between people and also on different areas of the body on the same person. As the patches heal they tend to leave scars and on darker skins the pigment in the skin can be lost leaving white areas. If discoid lupus occurs on the scalp the hair will be lost as the patches heal leaving permanent bald areas. Subacute cutaneous lupus is a distinct rash that usually occurs in sun-exposed areas of the body. It starts as scaly patches which increase in size to form circular areas which gradually heal up without leaving scars. This type of lupus falls in-between the systemic form and the discoid form: people with subacute cutaneous lupus often have some of the blood abnormalities found in systemic lupus and frequently joint pains, but they do not usually develop the serious complications that can occur in the systemic disease. Practically any type of rash can occur in systemic lupus ranging from widespread mild rashes similar to those seen in viral illnesses such as German measles, to small distinct patches of rash on the elbows and knees resembling another skin condition, psoriasis. Two particular problems that can occur are panniculitis and urticaria. Panniculilis is inflammation of the fat below the skin resulting in tender red lumps beneath the surface of the skin; these heal slowly over time and can leave dimpling of the skin when fully healed. Urticaria is an itchy raised red rash similar to nettle rash that can occur with vasculitis or on its own; it heals without leaving scars.
