7. Butterfly rash
A small rash on the face can be caused by improperly selected cosmetics, allergies, climate change, or excessive consumption of sweets. Once you eliminate the provoking factor, the rash will disappear. But if the rash occupies both cheeks and resembles a butterfly in shape, it can signal lupus.
- Other symptoms of lupus are fever, joint pain, and fingers becoming blue in frosty weather.
