Skin Disease Overview
• How is lupus of the skin identified?• Can skin lupus be prevented?• What is the treatment of skin lupus?• Can damaged lupus skin be repaired?
![Page 4: Lupus and Your Skin: Spot It, Stop It, Stay Healthy](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102815/554b0355b4c905c12d8b4f29/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Identification of Skin Disease
• Characteristic and unique features • Skin biopsy may be needed • Patients may have only skin lupus or the
disease may be present throughout the body (ie, systemic)
• Classifications help doctors to categorize patients and choose therapy
![Page 5: Lupus and Your Skin: Spot It, Stop It, Stay Healthy](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102815/554b0355b4c905c12d8b4f29/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Acute Cutaneous Lupus
Present mostly in patients with systemic disease (SLE)
10:1 Female• Characteristic features:
Butterfly rash (malar rash, not scarring) Photosensitivity Blisters &/or erosions Diffuse hair loss (not permanent)

Subacute Cutaneous Lupus
• Mimics common diseases such as psoriasis or fungal infections
• Scaly red patches with clearing in center• Very Photosensitive, both UVB & UVA • Often drug-aggravated, but hard to prove• Anti-Ro Ab frequently present

Neonatal Lupus
• Anti-Ro antibodies can transfer from mother to child through the placenta
• Babies do not actually have lupus. They improve after several weeks as the mother’s antibodies no longer are in the baby’s blood stream
• UV light brings out the signs of the disease
(rash around the eyes)
![Page 13: Lupus and Your Skin: Spot It, Stop It, Stay Healthy](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102815/554b0355b4c905c12d8b4f29/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Neonatal Lupus (Cont’d)
• No treatment of the skin required other than avoidance of UV light
• Can cause heart problems, liver problems, or low platelets in the baby
• Recommend high-risk pregnancy OB/GYN

If I Have Cutaneous Lupus, What are the Chances That I Will Develop Systemic Lupus?
Your doctor will keep watch for the following:
• Rash below the neck
• Related skin lesions
• High levels of ANA
• Protein in the urine
• Blood in the urine
• Generalized Joint pain
![Page 23: Lupus and Your Skin: Spot It, Stop It, Stay Healthy](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102815/554b0355b4c905c12d8b4f29/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Prevention of Cutaneous Lupus
• Sunscreen & Sun Precautions• Fluorescent Light• Smoking (including secondary)• Hormone changes• Injury to skin, including personal
care products & heat• Infection• Diet & Nutrition• Alternative Medicines
![Page 24: Lupus and Your Skin: Spot It, Stop It, Stay Healthy](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102815/554b0355b4c905c12d8b4f29/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
UV Protection
• UVB (sunburn range) and UVA (non-sunburn range)
• UVB blocked by glass• UVA blocked by plastic
• UVA can go through car or office windows • Exposure can occur with artificial lights
(compact fluorescent) and older computer screens (not flat panel)
![Page 25: Lupus and Your Skin: Spot It, Stop It, Stay Healthy](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102815/554b0355b4c905c12d8b4f29/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
UV Protection (Cont’d)
• Suncreens marked with SPF numbers only block UVB which is helpful but not complete protection
• Important sunscreen reminders: UVA and UVB protection High SPF
• Mexoryl & Helioplex are new agents in sunscreen that offer good UVA protection
• “Star Rating” for UVA soon• Sun Protective clothing
![Page 26: Lupus and Your Skin: Spot It, Stop It, Stay Healthy](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102815/554b0355b4c905c12d8b4f29/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Moving from Lab to Patient
![Page 28: Lupus and Your Skin: Spot It, Stop It, Stay Healthy](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102815/554b0355b4c905c12d8b4f29/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Clinical Trials
• Every clinical trial is carefully designed & then approved by an IRB to answer certain research questions.
• A trial plan called a "protocol" indicates which study procedures will be done, when they’ll be done, by whom, and why.
• Initially drugs are tested for safety.• Subsequently, drugs are tested for efficacy and
compared to standard treatments or to placebo.
![Page 29: Lupus and Your Skin: Spot It, Stop It, Stay Healthy](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102815/554b0355b4c905c12d8b4f29/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Thalidomide
“Fast” response• Starts to work within 2 weeks, maximum
effect by 2 to 3 months
Effective in many patients who do not respond to antimalarials
![Page 40: Lupus and Your Skin: Spot It, Stop It, Stay Healthy](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102815/554b0355b4c905c12d8b4f29/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Thalidomide Concerns

• Cannot be used in pregnant women
• Premature ovarian failure
• Increased risk of blood clots
![Page 41: Lupus and Your Skin: Spot It, Stop It, Stay Healthy](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102815/554b0355b4c905c12d8b4f29/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

• Does not affect the disease itself
![Page 44: Lupus and Your Skin: Spot It, Stop It, Stay Healthy](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102815/554b0355b4c905c12d8b4f29/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Laser Surgery (Cont’d)

• Dark-skinned patients can experience skin discoloration
• Patients need to have realistic expectations

Summary
Classifications of lupus help physicians make appropriate drug choices
A majority of patients respond well to antimalarials and topical steroids
Most patients who do not respond to antimalarials will respond to thalidomide or third or fourth line agents.
More treatments on the horizon!
