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.
