I just love to self diagnose myself.

:lol:

So many skin rashes resemble each other so this was more an note of what other rashes are photosensitive which people quite often ask about and differential diagnoses of the malar rash. Photos are two dimensional so major characteristics of skin problems can't show up nor the distinguishing details that an experienced doctor would look for.

Cheers
