How do you know you got a flare up, n how does it feel. Or how does it look. I have been itching a lot different places of my body, not sure what expect. Thanks!

My face rash (malar rash) reacts to indoor lighting and the sun. But I also get it when I am feeling a combination of symptoms. My leg rash seems quite indiscriminate. The reticular one and my other itchy one actually seemed to come on before I started to feel quite bad with joint upper back pain, fatigue etc

I can tell you about mine, but, with lupus it is different and yet the same for everyone. If you like go to my page and see the photos of some of my rashes. Wish I could be more help but, there is no clear cut answer. Your lupus rash/blisters may be different next time. This I have found out over the years.

I get itchy all over too, my body hates sudden changes in temperature and also hates the sun. I have been given many different reasons for this over the years but never any treatment plans. I always put on loads of sun cream to try and stop this and then cover the affected areas in E45 cream when I ended up itchy.
