Yes, you're definitely not alone in this! Many MyLupusTeam members report pimple-like rashes on their face that can itch, burn, and feel uncomfortable.

Lupus can cause skin symptoms that look a lot like pimples or hives, and they can appear on the face, chin, and neck. These may be related to lupus inflammation rather than typical acne.

Some things members have noticed about these breakouts:

- They can feel hot or like there's fire under the skin
- They may itch and burn
- The skin around them can feel dry or tender
- They sometimes appear without a full butterfly rash

It's worth mentioning this specific symptom to a dermatologist who is familiar with lupus, since lupus rashes can sometimes look like other skin conditions. Getting an accurate diagnosis is the best way to find the right treatment for what you're experiencing.
