lupus rash

Lupus rash is a skin expression of the autoimmune disease lupus, where the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues. The rash often appears as a butterfly-shaped redness across the cheeks and nose, sometimes with other patches on the skin. It can be triggered or worsened by sun exposure. The rash may be flat or raised, and can be accompanied by sensitivity to sunlight. Managing lupus rash involves protecting the skin from sun, using prescribed medications, and monitoring for changes. It’s important to work with a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment to control symptoms effectively.
