What Could Be The Bright Red Rash That Reoccurs Very Often?

I have had a bright red resh about the size of a quarter or a bit larger not perfectly cimeterical but roundish, three times in the last 5 years. It does not hurt or itch but because it is reaccuring and has done so three times I need to pay attention to it. I found a site suggestion lupus however I have none of the other symptoms of Lupus. Thank you
