Discoid Lupus is a chronic and inflammatory autoimmune disorder, which usually affects the skin. The skin may have lesions with scales and generally the lesions are on the face. However, discoid lupus may affect other areas of the body, and as lesions heal areas of hyperpigmentation and hair loss may occur. There is no known cause or cure for discoid lupus, and treatment for discoid lupus usually involves avoiding sun light and using sunscreen. Immunosuppressants, and corticosteroids are used in an effort to control exacerbations of discoid lupus. Statistical data suggests that women are much more likely to acquire discoid lupus than men are (the actual ratio is approximately two to one). Also, the symptoms of discoid lupus usually appear in the thirties and forties age group. Can you win social security disability or SSI disability benefits on the basis of discoid lupus?
