Lupus Vulgaris Disseminated

Lupus vulgaris disseminated is an inflammatory skin disease. The very name of the disease suggests that it can damage any tissue that is on the skin. In this case, the lesion affects several layers of the dermis. When exposed to external and internal factors, the disease progresses, worsening the patient’s well-being. Most often, the culprits are microbes or viruses that enter the body against the background of other diseases. Another reason is allergies, as well as heredity.

Lupus vulgaris is one of the most common skin diseases and is of great importance in dermatology. This article will discuss one of the forms of lupus - a common disseminated form, which manifests itself as numerous rashes on the skin and mucous membranes. Disseminated skin lesions are a homogeneous rash in all parts of the body with a violation of the symmetry and intensity of the elements. When touching such rashes, the patient may experience pain. Dissemination in lupus vulgaris has its own characteristics. A history of psoriasis, eczema, lichen planus, while cases of lupus are combined with diseases of an autoimmune nature, increases the risk of developing this form of lupus. The inflammatory elements of a lupus rash resemble ring-shaped rashes in appearance. Urticaria often occurs with rheumatoid arthritis and other connective tissue diseases. This form of the disease affects mainly the young part of the population; in rare cases, the disease is diagnosed in elderly patients. In order to begin treatment of lupus, a comprehensive examination and selection of the optimal treatment method is necessary, which should include local and systemic methods of influence. Systemic therapy helps to reduce the intensity of rashes, reduce the frequency of infectious complications, and also reduce the risk of erosions and ulcers at the sites of remote rash elements. As for the treatment of skin lesions, its choice depends on the nature of the rash and the severity of the disease. It is important to remember that systematic exposure to sunlight can provoke sun rashes and intensify their manifestation. This disease is prone to relapsing and takes a chronic form, characteristic of most cases of chronic discoid lupus erythematosus and lesions of the scalp.
