Hi,
Rashes are a part of lupus and it persists for long and typically called a butterfly rash.
Generally, no treatment is required and it will settle by itself.
If it persists for long, you can consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
