Butterfly rash

Red, scaly eruption on both cheeks with a narrow band across the nose, characteristic of certain diseases (e.g., lupus erythematosus, rosacea).


A rash on both cheeks joined by an extension across the bridge of the nose. It is seen in systemic lupus erythematosus, especially after the patient’s face has been exposed to sunlight, and in seborrheic dermatitis, tuberous sclerosis, and dermatomyositis.


A distinctive skin rash, often referred to as a butterfly patch, is a notable manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus. This skin eruption serves as a characteristic feature of the condition, aiding in its identification and diagnosis.
