A member asked:
Is it possible for me to undergo a cosmetic surgery to get rid of the scars of vasculitis on , y legs? i am on medication for sle since april 2012.

See details: I would not risk any surgery for this issue. Meds you are taking increase infection risk, the vessels supplying the skin in this area are not normal and healing from any surgery could be a problem. Live with it or cover the scars with makeup.
