Cheeky Butterfly Rash
The body is a remarkable artist in its own rite. But, the sign of a butterfly rash on the face is a big clue to a dire problem. Lupus. Pay close attention to this sign so as not to confuse it with rosacea, other rashes or just a facial flush. This rash is serious.
Lupus, a chronic systemic autoimmune disorder presents itself in many forms. Inflammation of organs and sunlight-sensitive rashes are two predominant hints. Photosensitivity can cause Lupus flare-ups, increasing inflammation within the body and its organs.
Damaged skin, joints, kidneys and cells are only the beginning of Lupus’ detrimental effects on the body. Arthritis, seizures, raised, red and patchy skin, and nerve problems all play a very serious role in Lupus’ destruction.
Lupus is serious. But, 80-90% of patients will benefit with immediate and carefully planned medical attention. Please see your doctor if there is any doubt of diagnosis.
