What is the definition or description of: butterfly rash?

Lupus: "butterfly rash" is usually in reference to lupus and refers to a red rash, usually made a lot worse with sun exposure, that shows up across the cheeks and nose. Apparently, someone thought this reminded them of the wings of a butterfly.
