The classic butterfly rash in lupus typically appears across the cheeks and bridge of the nose. However, lupus can cause different types of rashes in other areas of the body, including the neck. Some MyLupusTeam members report getting rashes around their neck area during flares. Since you're describing an unusual rash pattern with white areas, it's important to have this evaluated by your healthcare provider. Lupus rashes can cause changes in skin color and may become more severe with sun exposure. About 70% of people with lupus are sensitive to light, which can trigger or worsen rashes in exposed areas like the neck.
