Discoid Lupus
Discoid Lupus is characterised by a raised, red rash that can appear anywhere on the body, but commonly affects the face, scalp, neck and chest. When the rash appears on the scalp, it can cause patchy, localised hair loss called Alopecia.
The rash appears underneath the hair and the inflammation causes the hair follicles to lose their hold on the hair. The irritation of the remaining hair rubbing on the rash can cause more inflammation, create scabs and even a little bleeding. Discoid Lupus can also cause some generalised hair loss.
