A member asked:

Upper chest rash, worsens in winter. punch biopsy=possible early connective tissue disease. chest flushes when upset. looks like sunburn. any ideas?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Non-allergic atopy?: Might you simply have cholinergic, stress, and cold urticaria? I'm not a dermatologist, but I believe that a flushing sort of rash is unlikely to be anything in the lupus / dermatomyositis family./
