4. Photosensitivity (Skin Reaction to Sunlight)
Many people with lupus have heightened sensitivity to sunlight , which can trigger rashes, flare-ups, or worsening of symptoms.
Common reactions include:
Redness or burning on exposed skin
Flare-up of existing rashes
Development of new skin lesions
Using sunscreen with SPF 50+, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding peak sun hours is crucial for managing this symptom.
5. Hair Loss (Alopecia)
Unexplained hair loss is another common sign of lupus. Hair may thin gradually or fall out in clumps, especially during flares.
This occurs because:
The immune system attacks hair follicles
Inflammation weakens hair shafts
Skin rashes (like discoid lupus) develop on the scalp
Hair loss can be emotionally distressing, but it often improves with proper treatment.
6. Fever Without a Known Cause
Low-grade fevers (usually between 98.5°F and 101°F / 37°C and 38.3°C) are frequent in people with lupus.
These fevers:
Often come with no clear infection
May accompany other symptoms like fatigue or joint pain
Are a sign of internal inflammation
If you’re experiencing recurring fevers without a known cause, it’s worth discussing with your doctor.
