Patient's question:
I am 53 years old. Recently, as I have gotten older, I have been experiencing leg pain. I have previously visited the immunology department, but the effect was not significant. I have taken both Chinese and Western medicine, especially when the weather changes, I feel uncomfortable. Is the facial rash a sign of lupus?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you have described, if you have developed many red spots on your face during this period and this condition recurs, if you experience joint pain or a recurrence of low-grade fever, there is a possibility of lupus. If you feel that the symptoms are quite noticeable, it is recommended to seek follow-up care from the rheumatology department promptly. In daily life, it is advised to pay attention to a balanced diet, avoid overworking, and prevent catching colds. It is also recommended to avoid spicy and irritating foods and to maintain a light diet.
