Skin Sensitivity and Lupus

A common lupus symptom is skin sensitivity which can be a rash in the shape of a butterfly, lesions in the mouth, or skin problems with sensitivity to the sun. Discussing different types of skin sensitivity is best done alongside others who understand what you are going through and can share their experiences.
