Yes, I've had rashes from head to toe at different times and on every body part in addition to the butterfly rash. Fortunately, it's not all the time and not everywhere at the same time (usually). Never fun or pretty, lol! So, I've learned to wear two layers of pants and shirts so I don't shed everywhere from all of the peeling.

I broke out around my mouth on and off for a year before I was diagnosed. I also develop rashes down my arms and sides. I was told they are flare up rashes caused by inflammation. They do not hurt, but do itch and the one around mouth burns if I eat the wrong foods...

I get my rashes across faces and on my noses. I make sure that neck and chest, arm are covered. If I don't I make sure that I use sunscreen lotion.

My rashes seem relegated to my cheeks and my chest, and happen after sun exposure.
