    GlossaryLupus Panniculitis

    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.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
