How can one determine if it is lupus?

Patient's question:

I recently feel like I keep getting dizzy, and some irregular red marks have appeared again on my body. I looked up some information and suspect I might have lupus. Hello doctor, how can I confirm if it is lupus? Is there a possibility of curing lupus?

Doctor's answer:

For systemic lupus erythematosus, it is generally an autoimmune disease. In addition to some signs and symptoms, it may also present with abnormal test indicators. If you suspect this disease, it is recommended to undergo an antinuclear antibody test to check for any abnormalities in double-stranded DNA. This can usually lead to a diagnosis. The standard procedure involves a skin prick test. However, if there are skin symptoms and further careful examination, a diagnosis can generally be made. This is a systemic disease, and it is usually difficult to diagnose.
