Malar rash w/ lupus

by | Jan 21, 2025

A malar rash, commonly known as a butterfly rash, is a key symptom of lupus, an autoimmune disease that Dr. Stephen Soloway has extensive experience diagnosing and managing. This distinctive rash, shaped like a butterfly, typically appears across the cheeks and nose as a red or purplish discoloration. For many, it may worsen with sun exposure, as lupus often increases sensitivity to UV light. However, it’s important to note that not everyone with lupus will develop this rash.


At our state-of-the-art facility, Dr. Soloway utilizes advanced diagnostic techniques and a personalized approach to evaluate symptoms like a malar rash. Treatment plans often include medications such as anti-inflammatory drugs, immunosuppressants, or corticosteroids, alongside preventive measures like sun protection to reduce flare-ups. With years of expertise, numerous publications, and a commitment to patient care, Dr. Soloway provides accurate diagnoses and effective treatment strategies tailored to your needs.
