What can i use for my skin with my lupus?

Many lupus rashes: There is no one lupus rash. People with lupus are normal people who can have a rash. That means just becuase you have lupus does not mean that every rash you get is due to lupus. There are a varietyof lupus rashes and these need to be defined because different rashes are treated differently - cutaneous lupus, subacute cutaneous lupus, discoid lupus, lupus profundus, raynaud's as example.

Photoprotection!: Skin of patients lupus erythematosus (le) is very sensitive to sun exposure, regardless of what subtype of lupus you might have. For this reason, i recommend all of my patients with le to use a broad spectrum sunscreen of at least SPF 30, in addition to a hat and long sleeves shirt as much as possible. As dr goldman mentioned, the treatment will be dependent on the subtype of le.
