10 Myositis Symptoms
Symptom #2: Rashes
The reason that DM is so easy to diagnose is because it causes patients to develop a very unique form of rash. These rashes are a purplish-red color and they have a unique shape, developing in the form of a heliotrope flower.
The rash can spread all over the body, but is often most prominent on the eyelids, the face, the chest, the neck, and the back. The rash is also known to appear over the joints, such as by the knees and the toes.
