Sometimes symptoms of lupus are mild. At times they are even absent or, on the contrary, very severe. Luckily, patients can and must be treated – medicine has significantly improved in this area.

1. Butterfly Rash

Butterfly rash is called so due to its shape. It tends from the bridge of the nose and across the cheeks. This pattern is typical of 40% of people who suffer from lupus. The most common area where such a rash can appear is the face, however, you can often see it on other body parts. Another common place where butterfly rash appears is the chest. It appears either as a widespread disturbance with numerous elevated, red lesions or as a single raised round lesion.

2. Fatigue

Emotional and physical stress is inevitable if you suffer from a disease that affects the entire body. As a result, stress leads to fatigue. Flare-ups make the issue more serious. This is when you start feeling extremely tired and exhausted. It is important to treat this symptom since it makes treatment of the disease itself more difficult.
