Patient's question:
First time getting a skin disease, and also getting such a serious lupus. What are the hazards of getting lupus?Doctor's answer:
Systemic lupus erythematosus does not necessarily manifest as skin damage; it is not a skin disease but an autoimmune disorder. If not treated promptly, it may affect other organs, leading to functional damage. The primary symptoms include recurrent discoid redness on the skin, which can be relieved by locally applying corticosteroid creams. It is advisable to take autoimmune regulators regularly and undergo periodic rheumatology examinations.
