Uncommon, possible: People with Lupus can have sun sensitivity with primarily dermatitis, but reviewing literature, sun exposure can be an exacerbating factor for Lupus and inflammatory reactions in other organ systems. Be careful with sun exposure and be sure to follow with your rheumatologist to asses the level of activity of your lupus.

Have lupus. I am extremely dizzy for days after sun exposure. (not heat related) Blood pressure is normal and I'm very hydrated. Out of the sun and in cool air conditioning? Is this inflammation? How do I make the dizziness go away? I have a job.

21 mo old has a small bump on back of head, close to bottom of hair line, under skin. Feels like a swollen blood vessel, soft, but doesn't seem to bother her when we gently touch it. No discoloration. We just noticed it when my hand brushed over it.
