Bullous lupus erythematosus

Bullous lupus erythematosus is a rare skin condition associated with systemic lupus erythematosus. It causes the development of sudden, fluid-filled blisters (bullae) on the skin, often on areas exposed to sunlight. These blisters are usually tense and can be painful. The condition results from the immune system mistakenly attacking healthy skin cells, leading to blister formation. It is typically diagnosed through skin biopsies and blood tests. Treatment often involves immunosuppressive medications to reduce immune activity and control symptoms. Prompt medical care can help manage the disease and prevent complications.
