My mother has lupus. She has permanent discolorations on her face from the "butterfly rash" from lupus. She is very beautiful and I would love to find her a cream or lotion that would reduce the appearance of the blemishes on her face or make them disappear. Has anyone used anything of this sort with success? Her self-esteem has suffered greatly from this, and I want to do anything I can to help her. If you have used anything with results, please tell me the name and where it is available. All help is appreciated.

Sorry most of the lupus things you read say to steer clear of creams/lotions as they can make it worse. Hope you find something that helps.

I have lupus also * since i was 15 yrs old and i hate having those rashes...she might want to go to dermatologist just because anything on our skin can make it worse. Please do not try cover up stuff I did and it went pretty bad..especially in the summer time when the sun is out. But she might want to use creams with cocoa butter or shea butter and def sunscreen. Good luck and do not let that faze her ..there is nothing we can do about this illness but to learn to live with it.
