Are a Lupus rash and Eczema linked to one another?
Posted by: Alan in eczema treatment, tags: another, Eczema, Linked, Lupus, Rash
My grandmother passed away in 2001, primarily due to Lupus. I’ve been worried that I may have/get Lupus (since it is a genetically transmitted disease). I have common flare ups of a rash that i thought was eczema, but recently have thought could be related to Lupus. Could Lupus cause Eczema? Are they linked somehow?
Thanks!

Lupus is not genetically transmitted. You MAY inherit a genetic predisposition to lupus, but it requires triggers to develop the disease. There are many cases of genetically identical twins where one develops lupus and the other does not.
Lupus is an autoimmune disease where your immune system attacks your own health tissue. The exact cause is unknown.
The exact cause of eczema is unknown, but it’s thought to be linked to an overactive response by the body’s immune system to unknown triggers.
Lupus of the skin is diagnosed by skin biopsy. Eczema may require some allergy testing.
In addition, eczema is commonly found in families with a history of other allergies or asthma.
Some people may suffer “flare-ups” of the itchy rash in response to certain substances or conditions.
See a dermatologist.

Hi,
Many with Lupus find that drinking alkaline water is very good for them.
Here is a video about Kangen 2.5 PH water treatment for Eczema. The next video shows how 2.5 PH water will kill bacteria on contact. It is very effective at doing this.

You can get free alkaline water, place a add on http://www.craigslist.com and then ask for 8.5 PH alkaline water in a wanted add.
I know a person with 2 square feet of psoriasis on his skin 3 months ago. It is almost all gone at this time. He has suffered from this for many years. (more than 50 years)
If you lived in Southern California, I would be happy to deliver this water to you.
Good Luck!
