Rheumatologist,  Dr. Naval Mendiratta's  Response
good evening . well the rashes are a very common symptom and can occur in any condition. it does not mean you have lupus. lupus rashes are more specifically located on the face and get worsened on exposure to sunlight. but if you still have doubts consult a rheumatologist and get evaluated for it. hope the information was useful
