OMG - I Have A Red Sore On My Cheek! Am I Going To Die?

9. Lupus

Lupus is an autoimmune disease that occurs when the body’s own immune system attacks the skin. Lupus rashes are caused by severe inflammation and can occur anywhere on the skin in the form of a blotchy red patch covering a fairly large area. Antimalarial medications are available to treat rashes associated with the disease. Diet intervention should include an anti-inflammatory diet free of processed sugars and high in fruits and vegetables to control flaring.
