What does a sun rash on the arms and other exposed areas to the sun look like in Lupus patients?

It's a pink or red rash. Sometimes it is slightly raised and sometimes it is flat. Sometimes it itches a bit , but most of the time it does not. Sun exposure really, really agravates it. You should be on Placquinol prescribed by your Dr. Also a mild steriod like Locoid cream also prescribed by your doc.
Always use a sunscreen #s 30 or 45 suncreen. Remember the bright sun against the snow in the winter is just as bad.
I hate my rash. I'm vain, I guess. Thank the Lord for good makeup!!!! Good Luck!
