rare inflammatory condition where immune system attacks fat under skin
Lupus Panniculitis, also known as Lupus Profundus, is a rare inflammatory condition where the immune system attacks the fat layer beneath the skin, leading to firm, deep nodules or plaques. These lesions can cause significant scarring and atrophy, and are often associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), an autoimmune disease that can affect multiple organs.
