Hi and thanks for the query, Lupus as you rightly said is an autoimmune disease, and complete eradication of the condition is almost very difficult. However, compliance to treatment protocols and a step wise medication approach usually leads to complete stabilisation and amelioration of clinical condition. Appropriate medication controls symptoms and stops continues excessive hairless. Drugs range from Non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs, steroids, hydroxychloroquine, methotrexate, to gold salts and others depending on the case. Compliance to treatment protocol remains a mainstay in the management. complete eradication is almost not very true but control of symptoms iwth a normal life style when compliant to medication is very possible. thanks and best regards, Luchuo, MD.
