That's a great question! PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder) isn't a recognized comorbidity of lupus, so it falls outside the scope of what can be helpfully addressed here in relation to managing lupus.
What can be shared is that SLE and discoid lupus are closely connected. Around two-thirds of people with SLE also experience cutaneous lupus symptoms, and discoid lupus is the most common form of cutaneous lupus. Discoid lupus affects the skin and scalp, causing thick, scaly, coin-shaped lesions. Among MyLupusTeam members, 80% have reported rashes that sometimes affect the scalp.
Complications of discoid lupus can include:
- Hair thinning
- Hair loss (alopecia)
- Scarring that blocks hair follicles
- Increased risk of skin cancer
For any concerns about how SLE and discoid lupus interact in your specific case, a rheumatologist or dermatologist would be the best person to guide you.
