How Lupus Caused the Scars on Seal's Face

How is this disease caused?

Experts' investigations on DLE, and any other form of lupus, express that the real cause of the condition is still unknown. However, they all agree that genes, hormones, and environmental factors play an important role. Also, sunlight, UV light, stress, certain medications, and infections may trigger the disease or cause it to flare. Although when properly managed, most symptoms are not life-threatening and may only cause several challenges to the patient’s quality of life. This means that early detection and treatment are essential for fighting the disease.
