Dr. Rania Mousa General Medicine
rashes that are connected to lupus are presented as a butterfly-shaped rash across the cheeks and bridge of the nose beside other skin lesions in the fibromyalgia patient which are characterized by sensitivity to the sun with flaky, red spots or a scaly, purple rash on various parts of the body, including the face, neck, and arms. Some people also develop mouth sores.
the difference is by the shape appearance(like a butterfly) and the symptoms associated in the body ,
you can check with a dermatologist or a rheumatologist so you can make tests for the presence of lupus if other symptoms associated .
