The most recognized symptom of lupus is the butterfly rash, but that’s just one of many types of skin issues that lupus can cause.

🦋 The malar rash that occurs on the face is the famous butterfly rash.
🐆 You can also have rashes on the body that almost look like red cheetah spots.
👉 Scalp issues can cause hair loss or alopecia.
☀ Blistering rashes can come from sun exposure.
🦋 Round depressions in the skin on the arms, torso, and legs are also signs of lupus.
