Is this a malar rash?
Hello!
I was tested for lupus 8 years ago as I had a series of symptoms that were growing concerning, and my mother has lupus. Tests proved negative.
3 years ago I was diagnosed with Celiac disease (blood, no biopsy).
I have recently had my face rash come back, but, much brighter than before. Additionally, I developed a patch of dry skin on my thigh. I have fatigue when my rash flares.
Just had a full blood panel drawn today and am awaiting results, however, wanted to see if these photos look familiar to anyone.
Thank you!
Hi,
!
First off, I am sorry you are experiencing some symptoms that have led you to get some testing. I know dealing with health issues and not knowing what the cause is can be frustrating. So, I do hope the tests are conclusive, whatever the diagnosis may be.
We can't provide medical diagnosis or advice, for your safety, so I can't say that your rash is definitely a malar rash. Since your mom has Lupus, you may be familiar with what a malar rash looks like. And I can say that the rash you are experiencing looks similar to the malar rash photos other people have shared.
I do hope those test results come back quickly so you can get to the bottom of what's going on!
Best, Erin, Team Member.

yes it it or was just part for your strength to get through it all 💜
I’m not diagnosing you however, I have a very similar rash on my face and I do have Lupus.
