Lupus is a chronic inflammatory disease that can affect several parts of the body, including the skin (with its characteristic butterfly shaped allergic lesions), joints, blood, kidneys and possibly other organs. Lupus is an auto immune disorder where the body´s immune system has lost its ability to distinguish between natural antigens (the body´s enemies such as bacteria, viruses and foreign materials) and its own cell tissues. So it is your own immune system that is actually causing the pain, inflammation and injury to your tissues.

Lupus erythematois is an autoimmune disease. It shows on the face and involves the kidneys with renal failure. A discoid form with only a butterfly lesion on the face occurs, no systemic involvement.
