Patient's question:
Yesterday my child was diagnosed with lupus. Is there a cure? What is the best treatment method?Doctor's answer:
LupusErythematosusLupus erythematosus is a connective tissue disease. The cause of the disease is not fully understood, and it is generally believed to be related to the patient's genetic constitution and immune system disorders. Lupus erythematosus is divided into two types: discoid and systemic. Discoid lupus erythematosus is more common in women aged 20-40, primarily characterized by skin damage. It is particularly prone to occur on the bridge of the nose and the cheeks on both sides, often symmetrically distributed in a curvilinear butterfly shape. The course of the disease is chronic and can last for many years without healing. Generally speaking, with treatment, most patients can achieve stability and be cured, while a few patients have a poor prognosis.
