: : : Hi- I would like to talk with someone who has skin lupus.... Just found out last week that I have this condition! After being treated for a bacterial infection and also a fungus infection with heavy duty drugs- I find out it's Lupus. Never had anything wrong with me- now I'm scared. I was going to a tanning salon and thought it was something I caught there. Little did I know it was making my condition worse! If anyone knows anything to help, Please write.
Hi, my name is pamela and I have DLE. I was diagnosed quite some time ago but I think I was in denial. I also visited a tanning studio which made the condition worse. I was tested for SLE which came back negative and only was diagonsed when I went to a dermatologist. I was told to keep out of the sun and to treat the rash with prescribed creams. I believe my condition is aggravated by stress but but my doctor can't confirm this. I am always tired and run down and became depressed at times. This is the first time I have visited a site and hope you reply.
