What Causes Lupus?
3. Sunlight
Sunlight is very difficult to avoid indeed, for obvious reasons. Some people do need to be more careful than others, particularly those that have very fair skin because they are prone to burning very easily. Other than that, it is very difficult to avoid the sun completely.
For some people, avoiding the sun is more about just avoiding a nasty burn. Some people will have very bad reactions even if they spend a short amount of time in relatively weak sunlight. For people with lupus, exposure to the sun can cause very bad skin reactions, while also potentially causing problems internally.
