It's common for people with lupus to develop ulcers or lesions in various areas of the body. About 25% of lupus patients experience ulcers around the mouth and nose area. These sores can appear during flares and may be related to the condition itself or sometimes as a side effect of lupus medications like corticosteroids. Regarding vaginal symptoms, lupus can make you more susceptible to infections due to its effects on the immune system. This is especially true if you're on immunosuppressive therapy. While it's important to monitor these symptoms, know that you're not alone - other MyLupusTeam members have reported similar experiences. Please consult with your rheumatologist or healthcare provider about these symptoms to ensure proper treatment and care.
