I have not been diagnosed with lupus, but
I do have rheumatoid arthritis. For the
past 3 years, whenever I go out in the sun
I get this light pink to dark pink rash
with white bumps all over my skin, it
itches a little but not a lot and it kinda
feels numb. I was wondering if this could
be related to lupus?

I'm not sure what you are asking. Are you
asking if lupus patients get rashes going
out in the sun, then yes, some of us do
get rashes by going out in the sun. We
also get headaches, stomach aches, etc.
If you think this may be happening to you,
I would suggest having your rheumy run the
appropriate tests!
