One type of rash associated with dermatomyositis. The rash is called "heliotrope" due to a purplish or lilac color (but may also be red) in response to sun sensitivity. It classically occurs around the eyes along with swelling, but also occurs on the upper chest or back what is called the "shawl" (around the neck) or "V-sign" above the breasts and may also occur on the face, upper arms, thighs, or hands.
