Could it be lupus?

My 2 year old is having rashes later in the day, worse in the car/outside or hot. Typically more red and darker on her arms and light on her chest. Looks lacey sometimes but like a sunburn on her legs. Pediatrician says 3 factors: viral rash, possible allergen and maybe eczema. I’m still worried.

Take her to see a dermatologist! Rashes are notoriously difficult to diagnose! They can’t be diagnosed

Alleviate your worry by seeing a dermatologist!

With good wishes,
