10 Causes of Lupus

Sunlight

Ultraviolet in the sun’s rays would trigger the flareups of lupus. This form of invisible radiation can be divided into three categories: UVC, UVB, and UVA. They would trigger internal responses in vulnerable people and bring on skin lesions. Some common symptoms of sunlight-induced lupus include internal swelling, joint pain, weakness, fatigue, lesions, or rash. It can also make you feel more sensitive to sunlight. Therefore, it is better to protect yourself by applying high-SPF sunscreen products and wearing protective clothing. [3]
