Malar Rash
The cutaneous manifestations of lupus can include malar rash, discoid rash, and photosensitivity. [clinicaladvisor.com]
Malar Rash About half of people with lupus experience a characteristic red “malar” rash or color change that may appear across the cheeks and bridge of the nose in the shape of a butterfly. [lupusresearch.org]
This rash is typically seen on the nose and cheeks, called a malar rash, and is considered one of the hallmarks of lupus. Porphyria is another medical condition that may cause photosensitivity reactions. [medicinenet.com]
Systemic lupus erythematosus is characterized by photosensitivity, malar rash, and discoid lupus erythematosus like skin lesions which can be aggravated in tropical climate. [ijdvl.com]

Workup
The reasons for this are as follows: The workup of a patient with solar dermatitis is quite complex, and if you plan to care for and evaluate the patient, I would suggest a review of this topic. [aaaai.org]
Workups for porphyria, lupus and photo patch testing were completed, all of which were negative. She also discontinued any drugs that might cause photosensitivity such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications. [omicsonline.org]
