Lupus
Lupus is an autoimmune disease in which the body's defense system attacks its own tissues by mistake, which can cause inflammation in the skin, the joints, and various organs.
Common manifestations: Fatigue, joint pain or swelling, skin rashes —sometimes on the cheeks—, fever, and sensitivity to the sun.
When is it advisable to consult? It is prudent to seek an evaluation in the face of persistent symptoms that affect several parts of the body, such as marked fatigue, joint pain, and skin lesions.
Which specialist treats it? The rheumatologist is the professional who studies autoimmune diseases such as lupus, with support from the internist when other organs are affected. If you have these symptoms in a sustained way, having it evaluated by a specialist makes close follow-up easier.
