Lupus Vulgaris Erythematous

Lupus vulgaris erythematous (lat. l. vulgaris erythematosus) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the skin and mucous membranes.

The main symptoms of lupus vulgaris erythematous:

1. Red spots and plaques on the skin of the face, especially on the cheekbones, bridge of the nose and eyelid. These rashes have a “butterfly” shape.

2. Skin damage caused by ultraviolet rays.

3. Ulcers in the mouth.

4. Hair loss.

5. Joint damage.

The causes of the disease are not fully understood. It is believed to be an autoimmune process in which the body's immune system attacks its own tissues.

Diagnosis is based on the clinical picture and blood test.

Treatment for lupus aims to reduce inflammation and suppress the autoimmune response. Glucocorticosteroids, antimalarial drugs, and immunosuppressants are used. Sun protection and skin care are also important.

With timely treatment, the prognosis is favorable. However, the disease has a chronic relapsing course.

Lupus vulgaris (L. vulgaris) is one of the most common skin diseases that affects the skin and mucous membranes. This is a chronic disease that can last for years and lead to serious complications.

One of the main symptoms of lupus vulgaris is the appearance of red spots on the skin, which may be itchy or not cause discomfort. These spots can appear on any part of the body, including the face, neck, arms and legs.

Treatment for lupus vulgaris involves the use of medications such as corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and others. Additionally, topical treatments such as creams and ointments may be used to help reduce itching and inflammation.

However, lupus vulgaris can be quite difficult to treat, and many patients continue to suffer from the disease for many years. Therefore, it is important to monitor your health and consult a doctor at the first signs of this disease.
