I have lupus why am i getting boils?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Infection risk or no: This can occur even if you don't have lupus. It could be related to corticosteroids or if you are taking immunosuppressive therapy. Sometimes lupus itself because of immune dysregulation can make you at risk for infection.
