Affecting nine times more women than men, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic and organ-damaging autoimmune disease. An unpredictable disease; no two cases of lupus are the same.

Lupus and its medications can cause dramatic and noticeable hair loss or thinning as the follicles are attacked and destroyed, falling out with the slightest tug. The remaining hair is fragile, coarse and easily breakable. Unlike alopecia, the hair may grow back in most cases, albeit very slowly.

If diagnosed with cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE, skin lupus), on the other hand, lesions and abrasions will develop on the skin and scalp (a discoid rash) and can scar hair follicles and may cause permanent hair loss.
