Symptoms of Lupus [View all]

I'm being tested for lupus. I would appreciate any help I could get with it as I know nothing about Lupus. In January of this year I got a rash(which lasted about a month) all over my torso. It didn't itch but when it started going away my skin peeled off like a sunburn. In April my face is pretty red and I'm having a lot of hair loss. Yesterday I got a rash on the back of my neck maybe in my scalp as I can't see it but my whole head itches. Could this be the start of Lupus. I also have a brother that was diagnosed with skin lupus. Thanks in advance for any information.

I know nothing about Lupus. I didn't know there was a Lupus Foundation. I will look into that. blueinredohio May 2018 #9
