Skin rash on face

I have a rash that appears on both sides of my face it almost looks like a burned victim. It is brown splotches and I have not been in the sun at all and I need to find answers on what it may be. I am anemic and my face is pale white but the rash makes it look brown splotches. Is it possible that it is lupus, or an autoimmune disease? Or is it something serious that needs medication? Any help would be nice.

Hi,

This could be allergic reactions to unknown substances, skin hypersensitivity, eczema, dermatitis or sun rash.

Do you notice the lesions trigerred in response to a specific stimulus like sun exposure? Do you have dandruff?

You should try to keep the area dry and clean. Try some powder to absorb the sweat.

Apply calamine lotion at the site and take some oral antihistamine medications for your complaints.

If the symptoms are still persistent, consult your dermatologist and get a proper clinical evaluation done.
Let us know if you have any doubts and keep us posted on how you are doing.

Good luck.
