Can A Butterfly Rash Caused By Lupus Spread?

I have a red mark about an inch and a half wide in between where my clavicles meet and just under my thyroid. It looks simular to a "stawberry" birthmark. It actually showed up sometime between 5-10 years ago. I was diagnosed with Celiac at 18 months old. I have recently been having multiple health issues including tachycardia with multiple pvc's, sudden episodes of low blood pressure, Raynaud's phenomenom, The blood tests for many autoimmune disorders were drawn this week. My question is does the butterfly mark on the face from lupus sometimes show in other places?
