Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without examining you. A non-healing ulcer may require a biopsy for proper diagnosis.

Lupus?: Go find out. The Lupus rash has a distinctive butterfly shape. There is a blood test to screen for Lupus.

See your General Practitioner or a specialist Endocrinologist for examination, imaging, lab tests, diagnosis, and appropriate treatment plan.

No: The symptoms you describe are unrelated to lupus or any autoimmune disease.

Question 9

what is the best lupus pernio treatment on the nose?

Accepted Answer

Skin sarcoidosis!: Lupus perneo is a manifestation of sarcoidosis, usually seen in chronic disease.  Intra-lesional steroid injections can help, as can systemic therapy.  Sarcoidosis is an autoimmune disease that can affect many organs, but more common and serious, the lungs. This disease needs rheumatologic management.  The new tnf-alpha inhibotrs seem to work quite well, although this is off-label use!

Question 10

can a lupus rash go into the nasal folds on the side of the nose?

Accepted Answer

Usually not...: The rash of lupus usually does not affect the creases that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth... But usually does not mean never.
