Can someone explain to me what lupus is? what causes it? and how it's treated?

Question

I looked it up but I still don't really understand. I'm looking for a simple yet an informative answer.

Answer 1

There are a couple of diseases, one is Lupus Erythematosus which is a disorder characterzed by skin inflammation or Lupus Vulgaris which is a tuberculous disease of the skin with the formation of soft brownish nodules with ulceration and scarring. Go to about.com and type in both to read more about them!

Answer 2

If you or a loved have this or it is suspected it may be a bit of a journey to learn about.

I suggest you start with this web link that is very useful and concise.

Good luck
