Yes, many people with lupus experience an intense burning sensation when they get a malar rash during flares. The burning feeling can occur even when you don't have a fever or elevated body temperature. Some people describe it as having fire under their skin, along with tenderness in the facial bones underneath the rash. This burning sensation is often related to inflammation, which is a key feature of lupus. During flares, the inflammation in your body can make both your muscles hurt and your skin become red, warm, and sensitive. Some people notice the heat sensation first, followed by the appearance of the rash. The rash may also become more severe with sun or UV light exposure.
