Accepted Answer

: If the rheumatologist is uncertain of the relationship of this nonsexual vulval ulcer to other coexisting conditions, I recommend consulting a dermatologist for evaluation. Rheumatologists are not as adept at diagnosing female genital ulcers. In the meantime apply cool compresses,lidocaine cream,white Vaseline or zinc oxide to obtain some relief of discomfort.

Question 6

i suffer from lupus, i frequently get bleeding stomach ulcers prednisone isn't affective what else might help.

Accepted Answer

See rheumatologist: The bleeding ulcer is not the usual presentation for lupus.  In fact, prednisone may worsen it.  You need to talk to your rheumatologist to make sure that the medications you are taking are not causing the ulcer and then a GI consult may be in order since this may have nothing to do with your lupus.

Medication or: Medication effect or anti-phospholipid syndrome.  Material should be collected for examination.
