Lupus Skin rash
The skin is involved in more than 90% of people with lupus. Skin symptoms are more
common in whites than in African Americans. While the classic lupus rash is a redness on
the cheeks (malar blush) often brought on by sun exposure, many different types of rashes
can be seen in SLE. Discoid lupus with the red skin patches on the skin and scaliness is a
special characteristic rash that can lead to scarring. It usually occurs on the face and
scalp and can lead to loss of scalp hair (alopecia) |
