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...

Nope no meds at all! Darn

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.

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

thanks! I will try it! I put cortisone on it, but to no availe. I would have to go buy some as my baby is 13! Haha

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,

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
