A member asked:
Is it possible to have a malar rash and actinic keratosis?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: While malar rash is often associated with autoimmune diseases such as discoid lupus and actinic keratosis is often due to long standing skin damage, it's possible that these can occur together on the face. Sun exposure is also known to exacerbate the malar rash from autoimmune diseases.
