what you tell sounds like butterfly rash and yes there could be a possiblity but we need to see the blood work and other symptoms pertaining to lupus . ANA and ENA profile needs to be done.

Hi
Yes it might be a part of lupus
But your physician and rheumatologist can tell you better by examination. Ana test I'd very important to make a diagnosis
Take care
