Dear Doctors,I am in search of a Dermatologist in the Northern Virginia area, Fairfax county, who knows about Discord Lupus. I have had seven Dermatologist, since 1977, six of whom through biopsy confirmed the disease present in my person. Here in Centerville, Virginia, I found an inexperienced Dematologist who knows nothing of the Wolf , Discord Lupus. He within two minute of looking at the scares on my scalp said, ...you do not have Lupus... The disease has become extremely active in recent months and I do not have the money to travel back to New York City or to Danbury, Connecticut for medical service.Thank you, for accepting and responding to this dilemma of mine.

Hi thanks for asking question. You have confirmed discoid lupus erythematous diagnosis by biopsy. So here is some suggestive treatment for you. Over lesion topical Steroid application helpful. Topical calcine urine inhibitors and topical retinoid helpful. Protect yourself from sunlight. Hy Chat Doctor. If still no benefit oral steroid or immunosuppressive
