I don't really have a lot of places or people to talk with about this so joining here because of course I'm months away from my next rheumatologist appointment, but something I've noticed the last couple of days in my flare up is that my malar rash has gotten so bad I can feel it when I wake up and during the day, like it almost feels hot under my skin. I don't know if it's all mental because I see the purple/red marks every time I look at myself in the mirror, or if it's actually a thing other people deal with as well.

Edit: Thank you so much to everyone who came in here with similar stories and helping to make me feel like I'm not going crazy or imagining this.
