More about lupus symptoms
Discoid lupus rashes are usually painless and do notitch, but scarring can cause permanent hair loss (alopecia). The treatment for the lupus rash on legs depend on the lupus symptoms. The rashes don’t involve skin scarring and the skin affected with them can be restructured by taking some medical treatment.
Some people with lupus have a red rash over their cheeks and the bridge of their nose – called a “butterfly” or malar rash. Lupus can cause disease of the skin, heart, lungs, kidneys, joints, and nervous system. Pacing strategies and breathing exercises are useful when severe cardiac and pulmonary problems are apparent. If you are constantly exposed to ultraviolet light for the sun or tanning beds, you might accelerate your next lupus outbreak or rash.
