Malar Rash | Just A Lupie Day

This is what my malar rash looks like on a good day.  Called the “butterfly rash” because of the shape across the cheeks, the malar rash can look different from case to case.  It can even look different from day-to-day, in my experience.

If I have had a rough day, for example, I notice right away that my malar rash is more prominent, redder and at times the skin is hotter than heck!  Most times,  I cover with makeup, just to see it reappear later in the day.  However,  I do save a bundle on blush! I haven’t needed it for over 2 years now…lol
