What Causes Persistent Red Blotchy Rash Over My Chest?

hello , for many years I have had a rash over the front of my chest that is blotchy red, not really raised but persistent. Nothing including cortisone cream really helps it. I am curious as to whether lupus rash can present itself that way? I feel that I contracted drug induced lupus (from the birth control pill) symptoms seemed to fit, fevers, joint pain etc. An acute onset at age 18, after having taken the contraceptives for about a year and a half. At my age now, 50, I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, but am I looking at something else? I also have secondary Raynaud s syndrome which was finally diagnosed after many series of heart palpitations by a very good doctor who understood what my ECG was reading as, when I finally went to emergency to have some help with that when I found it would not right itself as it had in the past. Thoughts?

Hi,

It may be capillary hemangioma. It is a capillary nevus.It is harmless condition. So, no treatment is needed.However, consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis.
