Ok so I know that for those who have lupus, they generally have the butterfly rash across their cheeks and nose. But I've also read that you can have rashes other places on your body. Well I have a million complaints I could tell you about my body and everything that's wrong with it, but I was just wondering if anyone knew whether or not it was common to have a rash on your chest/neck with lupus? My chest/neck area always becomes red and itchy randomly. I haven't changed any products that I use so I don't think it any kind of allergic reaction. It actually happens alot when I have a low cut shirt on (so there's not clothing hitting that area to rub against it..)
Just wondering if anyone has any ideas...

Yeah I get rashes too and I have Lupus.
A lot of my rashes come from being in the sun. The fact yours are appearing when you wear a lowcut top makes me wonder if it is happening on the same day that you're outdoors in the sun too?
Sometimes wearing sunblock helps me, usually I just try to keep my arms/legs covered if I have to be in the sun for very long.

it could be lupus but you mention the low cut shirt and that it happens alot when you wear one. It could be something in the air that skin in the chest area is more sensitive too or even the air itself like cold air rashes.
