Treatment of Lupus Skin Lesions Posted: 02-11-06 09:53am
Wondering if Proactiv acne solution is
safe for lupus patients and will it have
any positive reaction with the facial
rash. I do not have acne but was hoping
something would help with the redness and
swelling areas. Any ideas?

Lupus has no connection with acne.
Proactive acne solution is good for
acne-treatment but has no effect on lupus
skin-lesions. Lupus skin lesions are
treated with unguents that contain
corticosteroids. You can ask for expert
help from a dermatologist.
