Happy Thursday!! Thank you for the information 🎉
I was diagnosed with SLE/systemic Lupus about 6 years ago. I caught strep throat and even with antibiotics it wouldn’t go away for over a month. About a month later, my elbows started aching really bad. I was sensitive to sunlight, where I would get really tired and sore being outside all day. Luckily, my Dr recognized the symptoms and did the bloodwork to reach my diagnosis. I’ve been pretty lucky overall, none of my organs have been affected so far(to my knowledge). I just feel tired and achy all day, every day. I haven’t had any of the skin symptoms, other than being sensitive overall to the sun.
So sorry friend. You are very brave. Praying.
Does sunlight give you a rash?

Thankyou so much for making this video. I have SLE and it’s hard to find good quality information about it xx
Good afternoon, Dr. Dray! It would mean the world to me if you did a dedicated video about trichotillomania. You’ve briefly mentioned it in a couple videos, and i saw you did a dedicated one about dermatillomania, but my search didn’t find any results relating solely to trichotillomania. Have a great day!
Thank you for the breakdown! I’m one of the people who has been tested for the gammit of auto immune diseases a couple of times, one reason being my skin. I was very fortunate to have Drs check it out and the last Rheumatologist advised it seems to be Rosacea – at least on face, and to get back with them if any majors changes. It definitely gets confusing and stressful when you don’t know if it’s a serious issue.
Great topic and happy Thursday all!
This is the most thorough explanation of skin lupus I’ve ever heard. Excellent!
Pssssdt, they gonna have to pull this cape from my cold dead autoimmune hands.
I feel so bad for anyone who has this
DR. DRAY TY FOR MAKING THIS EPISODE ❤ I don’t do social media and I don’t ever follow ANYONE!!! My Husband has tried making me a few Facebook accounts here and there BUT I personally could Never get into it or even want to for that matter. I personally think it’s one of the worst things that ever happened to our world because of the way people use it!!! I was just listening to music on YouTube about a month ago and I saw you on a clip that popped up and it intrigued me. I have been trying new skin, hair and some makeup products just to try and improve my overall health and appearance as a 36 yr old female. I’m so happy that I found you and your channel!!! You have so much great advice and the fact that you are a Derm is even better than just hearing it from a random person who has no credentials.
I decided to make my first comment on today’s topic because I have been living with Lupus since I was 17 years old. Not many people understand what it is or have never even heard of it before. When you try to explain it to others most of the time it ends with people thinking I have HIV OR AIDS, WHICH I DON’T!!!I have been struggling with the disease for years now and still am. Constantly in and out of the hospital when it decides to attack a certain organ/organs when it feels like it. It’s even hard for my own Family including my Husband at times to understand what and why I get sick all of the time. I have been called everything from a hypercondriact or my favorite, these Famous words “Well you don’t look sick” 😂
The fact that you are taking the time to promote awareness about Lupus gives me so much more respect for you and I just wanted to say Thank you 💖 Lupus is VERY real and it’s not something you can see with the naked eye. We need MORE advocates like you to spread the word and knowledge in the world. Thank you Again for all you do and are doing, it’s definitely making a difference to a lot of people❣️✌️🫶🪷
Hang in there. Sending you a hug ❤!
I was diagnosed with systemic lupus when I was 14. I am 69 years old. Back then lupus was very rare and unheard of and it took a year of doctors and tests to be diagnosed. They told my parents I wouldn’t live very long. I’ve had a long life. Yes I’ve been in and out of hospitals many times many operations and infections, but I still manage to have a career marriage and I’m still here.I have been on many medication’s steroids more more times than I care to say. Now I’m just trying to thrive with supplements and eating healthier. I’m done with all the meds. I can’t do them anymore.
I had some form of cutaneous lupus in 1976 when I was under a lot of stress. I also lived in the valley of the sun Phoenix, and became sun sensitive. I took oral steroids, then hydrochloroquine, and had painful steroid injections into the angry red bumps on my face.
As soon as I stopped smoking, it all went away! Thank goodness because I was allergic to the lousy sunscreens that were available then.
Thanks for this. Lupus runs rampant in my family and my brother’s skin is his big problem. I am fortunate, at 65 mine has been in remission for a number of years.
Yes, I did find this very educational. You are the best at explaining complicated medical issues. Thank you.
Dr. Dray, I am grateful we have dermatologists like you willing to share you knowledge. And may I say that as a nurse I have always been amazed and humbled how dermatologists can tell one rash from another! I have seen so many rashes and there are about 2 I can identify. Each one could be so many things. Respect.
“Maybe you’ll keep your mouth shut next time some random stranger passes you by and you feel compelled to comment on their appearance.” – Words of wisdom a large portion of the internet has failed to learn. Thanks for the video. 🙂
I used to go to a doctor who always mentioned lupas but my dermatologist called it rosacea.
Dr Dray always dropping the science on us. I love it and need it!
I know that as a Rosacea sufferer, I know the redness and dry look that can come from a flare-up also looks very similar to what cutaneous Lupus can look like! My skin was so perfect before this disease hit me in 1987!
Outstanding video. Your depth of knowledge goes well beyond dermatology. Thank you for including images of the appearance of lupus on dark skin. This information is sorely needed. You are a true clinician.
I was diagnosed with systemic lupus many years ago when I was in my early twenties. The main way it affects me is joint pain and fatigue. People love to tell me how tired I look. I did go through a year long battle with thrombocytopenia but my doctors were never sure if it was because of lupus or the drug I had recently been put on (Plaquenil) because thrombocytopenia was listed as a possible side effect. Nowadays, my pain is fairly well controlled but I’m never completely pain free. I occasionally have to take a weaning dose pack of steroids to help me get through a bad flare. I do feel blessed that it has not affected major organs and I am able to go to work every day. I know so many are not as lucky. Thanks for speaking about this, Dr Dray. Lupus can be difficult to diagnose as it seems to mimic other diseases and symptoms can be vague and vary from person to person. Happy Thursday! I hope you have a relaxing evening. ❤
Hi Dr. DREY, I was diagnosed with SLE when I was 18. I am now 61 and in remission. I deloped an ulcer on my ankle which would not heal and was extremely itchy. I also had a fever with chills. I was in the hospital for 3 months because they didnt know what I had and was getting worse daily. It ended up affecting my nervous system and was paralyzed for that time. This is very rare. But thank God I’m ok now.
