A member asked:

I get a rash that looks like a light sunburn over checks and nose that comes and goes lasting hours sometimes days could this be a butterfly rash?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Rash: You realy need to see your doctor or dermatologist, I assume it is on your face, if it is butterfly rash it has to be checked out , it could be a manifestation of a systematic disorder. So please take care. Good luck
