Anyone

Oh No!  I have developed a rash on my cheeks! (Face haha)
It is red, doesnt hurt, extends from the bridge of my nose down, just the front part of the cheek.
I stopped using my make-up to see if I have an allergy, but it hasn't gone away. I have had it about 2 weeks now.
I didn't think much of it until my dear boyfriend said it looked painful!  
I was out in the sun this past Sunday. It seemed worse after that. Although it is worse latter on in the day than it is earlier.
I am a little worried this could be a sign of Lupus. I am in Dx'd for MS and have been
for Lupus before.
Concerned,
Cyndi

I don't know about the Lupus part, but I think I may know how to help the rash.

I am not being funny, but I have found that diaper rash creams work well on rashes.

Good luck

Hey, Cyndi~

You really ought to have your doctor look at it.  Do you have a rheumatologist?  It sounds like the spot where a malar rash would be in Lupus, but I believe the rash is usually symmetrical.  Shaped like a butterfly, I have heard.  And raised a bit?  How do I think I know this?  

Get it looked at, but try not to worry.

Let us know how it goes!  Feel well,

Thanks for the post. I reread my post and meant to type UNDx'd and have been tested for Lupus it was negative. I do not have a rheumy. It is on both sides, but worse on the right.  I can rub my finger over it and it is little bumpy. More red than raised. I look feverish, but am not.
I suppose a doc visit is in order. Sigh
Thanks again

Ooh, could be anything - psoriasis, eczema...  Definitely see the doc.

Sorry about your facial rash!  You haven't started any new medication that would make you more sensitive to sunlight have you?  I noticed that you live in sunny Florida.  If not, I would follow Momzilla advice to have a doctor look at it.

I have a simular rash that comes and goes on my face, my GP said it's Roceasea (sp)? which is adult acne.  I don't know if that is what it is (horrible when you dont trust your GP) eh... I'm seeing a Rhuem in a few weeks and will ask him.  

Mine get worse after I have a shower or when it's hot outside etc...I will ask to see a Dermatologist as well.

Good Luck let us know what happens...
