butterfly rash
A red, flat, butterfly-shaped facial
rash over the bridge of the nose. More than half of
patients with systemic lupus erythematosus develop
this characteristic rash. The butterfly rash of lupus
is typically painless and does not itch. Along with
inflammation in other organs, the rash can be pre-
cipitated or worsened by exposure to sunlight. This
photosensitivity can be accompanied by a worsening
of inflammation throughout the body, causing a
flare-up of the disease. A somewhat similar rash can
also occur in other conditions, such as rosacea.
Also known as a malar rash. See also 
lupus; lupus,
discoid; lupus erythematosis, systemic.
