Do blisters occur with lupus?
Yes, blisters can occur with lupus, though they're rare. There's a specific skin condition called bullous systemic lupus erythematosus (BSLE) that causes blistering in people with lupus.
BSLE is uncommon and can sometimes be misdiagnosed as other skin diseases because blistering isn't one of the more typical lupus skin symptoms.
More common lupus skin issues include:
* Discoid lupus - scaly, raised sores often on the face or scalp
* Subacute cutaneous lupus - scaly patches or circular sores on the torso and arms
* Acute cutaneous lupus - raised, discolored rash like the butterfly rash on the face
* Hives and other nonspecific skin inflammation
If you're experiencing blistering, it's important to see a dermatologist for proper evaluation. Your primary care or rheumatology provider can refer you for a skin assessment to determine what's causing the blisters and how best to treat them.
