A few weeks ago the left side of my neck turned red and sort of rough. I thought maybe I'd been careless when driving and allowed sun to hit my neck. Within a couple days, the area looked dirty -- sort of like I hadn't washed my neck very well. I scrubbed well when I showered, applied lotion later and forgot about it. But over the past week or so, the area has taken to looking red and sort of bumply or maybe just rough most of the time. It really gets red when I hurt. It's not the whole neck, just this area about the size of my hand or a bit larger. It doesn't itch. It's noticeable enough that a couple of people have commented on my "sunburn".
So -- is this a lupus rash? I have the red butterfly on my face fairly often, worse in the sun or when I hurt pretty bad. But I've never had any other type of rash. What do you t hink?
