I have had a rash that developed (I thought it was sun poisoning) in May of this year that never went away. I went to a dermatologist and she prescribed topical steroids that never made the rash go away either. I assumed it was stress related and since it doesn t itch (and comes and goes now) I have ignored it. When I got my hair done yesterday, my hair stylist asked if something traumatic had happened to me because she said there was TONS of new growth and that I had lost a lot of my hair in the last 6 months (about the time I had the rash develop). After further research, my rash looks exactly like the butterfly rash. I am not sure if I should see a doctor about the hair loss; however, my hair stylist made it seem like it was definitely not normal for that hair to have fallen out.
