Can lupus be cured?

Patient's question:

First time getting a skin disease, and it's such a serious one too. Can this lupus be cured?

Doctor's answer:

Lupus cannot be cured. Because lupus is an autoimmune disease, this condition is triggered by factors such as intergenerational inheritance or estrogen, which activate the body's own immune system, leading to the production of specific antibodies and subsequent skin and mucosal damage or damage to other systems. This disease requires the long-term, uninterrupted use of anti-autoimmune medications to control the condition, but it cannot be cured. It is necessary to pay attention to the side effects of the medication and avoid stimulations from controllable causes.
