This form of lupus treatment mostly impacts women from 18 to 50 years. The cases of men suffering from discoid lupus erythematosus are very scarce.

We cannot be certain about the real caconsumes of lupus but there are several risk factors like the hormone aspects (such as estrogen excess), genetic factors and environmental simple factors (antibiotic in the long run treatment). The genetic factors have a particularly increased influence on the apparition of discoid lupus erythematosus compared to the other lupus forms..
