How Can Lupus Be Treated?

I have been broken out in hives for over a month. Dermatologist sent skin for biopsy. Came back as lupus. However I have not been in the sun it is getting worse. I have a hives rash all over my body. Benedryl is not working no is the cream the dermatologist has given me. Any thoughts on how to make them go away?

Rheumatologist 's  Response
Hi,

You may have to take steroids. Prednisone or Medrol Pak and start Plaquenil. This can be started by a Rheumatologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
