Lupus Foundation Of America Web Chat Explores “Your Skin And Lupus”
Approximately two-thirds of the 1.5 million Americans living with lupus will develop some type of skin disease. Lupus is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system is unbalanced causing it to become destructive to any organ and tissue in the body. Skin disease in lupus can cause rashes or sores (lesions), most of which will appear on sun-exposed areas, such as a person’s face, ears, neck, arms, and legs. In addition, 40-70 percent of people with systemic lupus will find that their disease is made worse by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from sunlight or artificial light. For this and other reasons, people with lupus are advised to take steps to protect themselves from exposure to UV light.
Summertime presents a challenge for people with lupus as vacations, leisure activities and household tasks can increase time outdoors, increasing risk of lupus flares. In addition, people with lupus are also at risk for other skin problems.
