Brief Answer:
Minoxidil lotion and hair supplement tablets

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I have gone through your complaints and any chronic disease including lupus can cause hair loss.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply minoxidil on the scalp and take hair supplements like tablet .
First there will be reduction in hair loss followed by hair regrowth.
Also keep your lupus under control.
