I have a little spot show up on my forehead a little over a yr ago and it looked just like a zit so I didn't think anything of it for a month. then it started to get bigger and worse and not zit looking. they took a skin biopsy and said it was discoid lupus. they put me on many creams and I got injections but it seemed I slowly kept getting new spots. now that it's been just over a yrs my whole face is cover in scale type skin that always hurts and always itches. I tried Plaquenil just a half pill because my body doesn't handle alot of things well. It seems to help my skin get smother and less red but it all cause head pressure everyday that was horrible and I couldn't think on it I felt like I was losing my mind. At this point I don't know what to do and would love some suggestions.
