Hi
Thanks for posting your query.
SLE doesn't cause any discharge from anywhere. You probably having scalp infection or a boil over scalp.
It could be due to bacterial or fungal infection. You need to get Culture sensitivity test of the discharge and use antibiotics as per culture report.
I advise you to consult your doctor and get required medications.
Hope my answer has helped you.
Any clarification feel free to ask.
