After multiple doses of prednisone , it went away however now a less painful version is back on my breasts. I had labs done which showed nothing out of average .

Hi,

Thanks for writing here.

Rash after sun exposure with fatigue ,joint pain suggest lupus.

ANA titre test will be required to rule out lupus.

You need to take steroids and hydroxy chloroquine.

It will be better to consult a dermatologist.

Avoid sun exposure as far as possible.

Hope this will help you.Take care.
