What should I do about hair loss from systemic lupus erythematosus?
First, systemic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease characterized by multi-organ and multi-systemic damage, a systemic autoimmune disorder. It cannot be completely cured, but its symptoms can be managed and the progression of the disease can be controlled through medication. The main clinical manifestations include facial rashes, photosensitivity, Raynaud's phenomenon, fever, hair loss, etc. Therefore, in the treatment process of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, if there is an increase in hair loss, or if other symptoms such as photosensitivity and hair loss occur, it may be considered that the disease is active or recurring. At this time, it is necessary to go to the hospital for comprehensive tests such as blood routine, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), complement levels, and autoimmune antibodies to assess the condition. If the disease is active or recurring, an adjustment in the dosage of the treatment medications may be necessary.
