Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disease in which the bodys immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue. It can affect the skin, joints, kidneys, brain and other organs.
We report the case of a 7-year-old female patient with facial lesions of SLE since the age of 5. There was no significant family history and patient had been a healthy child from birth.
The child presented with a malar rash, also known as a butterfly rash, with distribution over the cheeks but sparing the nasal bridge. This case represents the efficacy of the Dr.
Michaels(R) (Soratinex(R)) product family in the successful resolution of facial lesions of SLE.
