Are sarcoidosis and butterfly rash related?

It is a form of lupus but there would be other symptoms too. Aching joints, migraine, seizures and the rash tends to be more on the face just like a butterfly. Wish you well

Systemic lupus erythematosis is sometimes indicated by the butterfly (malar) rash.

Lupus pernio, however, is the most characteristic cutaneous lesion of sarcoidosis.
