I’m not a Dr, but my lupus journey started with the butterfly rash. I went to a dermatologist and I was getting some red scaly plaques on my face that itched. So he said he needed to do a biopsy to confirm lupus. Of course I freaked because I didn’t want a scar on my face and he said he could just biopsy the one on top of my scalp. I didn’t know it was on my scalp, several years later I lost all my hair in a large circle on top of my head. I can fortunately do a combover and noone even notices. The sad thing is the lights at my job bothered it too so 100+ sunscreen all the time. You need to buy a hat thru online coolibar that my dermatologist told me about. I tried everything to grow hair back to no avail. I wear a nylon nike scalp cap when I swim. Get to the Dr soon. They can also try scalp injections with steroids that don’t hurt at all. Get mild shampoo and no hot water. I wash my hair every four days. Hope this helps👍🏼

I get that. Cold water helps.

Talk to your dr about the sores. We all get sore in the scalp nose mouth. Prednisone and plaquenil fixed my problems 29 yrs ago. So good luck. 🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰🦋❤️❤️

Praying for you.

Talk to your doctor so you can get the correct diagnosis for!!
