Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Lupus / August 2006Discoid....is plastic surgery an option????
I know most of the posters here don't have this form but, maybe someone has come across somthing somewhere. I am sick of my skin (literally)I would like my face back.I know I'm lucky not to have any organ involvement. Just what i call pre-arthritis , muscle aches and some digestion problems. Still,this thing is not nice at all ,I can't count the # of times I've been asked whats with my skin GRR! Even though I am often told I am still beautiful by men (including hubby)I feel like something has been taken from me. Anyway ,enuff whining. hope this finds you well, Jenn I think you'd have to ask a plastic surgeon. I know discoid leaves terrible scars. I would think the scaring could be at least made less noticeable but at what cost to you physically? There is also special makeup that can be used to cover scaring but I have no idea the brand name or where you would buy it. It might be worth a visit to a plastic surgeon just to see what the surgeon says. The way we look or the way we perceive our looks has a whole lot to do with how we feel about ourselves. But I know of nothing that will stop the discoid lupus from happening. Bev > I know most of the posters here don't have this form but, maybe someone > has come across somthing somewhere.

Try your Red Cross - in UK they can assist so maybe elsewhere too  SignatureAndy Taylor [Chair, N E Lupus Group] See http://www.northeastlupus.org.uk for more! Okay, okay so I missed an r. Some people need extra spoons and I need a pirate. Arrh, arrh! ROTFLMAO! Sending a big (HUG) across the pond!
