Lupus cuts

[jensen_lynne]

Can lupus make cuts heal slower?

[tremarel]

Yes especially if on steroids or immune suppression drugs. I hit my leg in Spain few weeks ago & went to pharmacy. They recommended a great gel called cristalina . It has been amazing .

I take a long time to heal and then over heal leaving a lump.

Hi Jensen_Lynne,

According to an article posted on the Arthritis Foundation’s blog, “Slow-healing wounds, including leg and foot ulcers, are a known complication of several autoimmune inflammatory diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), lupus and scleroderma”.

I get them after dental treatment or any drugs and they can take a long time to heal.
