I did not experience any hair loss, but my understanding is that it is typically due to inflammation in the scalp. There should be topical treatments to help control the inflammation, stopping the hair loss. (Typical hair loss remedies would not be effective, and might make it worse if they cause any irritation.) Speak to your rheumatologist or possibly a dermatologist.

That is encouraging news! Benlysta is the next medication my rheumatologist wants me to try.
