Patient's question:
I but I have red spots on both my hands. After a thorough examination, it was diagnosed as lupus. What is lupus?Doctor's answer:
Lupus is an autoimmune disease. This disease is triggered by intergenerational inheritance or excessively high estrogen levels in the body, as well as specific infections, which activate the immune system to produce foreign antibodies. These antibodies then cause immune damage to the body's normal cells and tissues, leading to the onset of the disease. It manifests as skin and mucosal damage and can also affect other organ systems, presenting with symptoms of other systems. Antimmune therapy is required.
