Recognizable Symptoms Of Lupus

Hair Loss

Hair loss and thinning hair are usually one of the first signs of lupus. It occurs due to inflammation of the scalp and skin. Most of the time, hair will start to thin out slowly, but some people experience chunks of hair falling out in the shower. You may also notice thinning of hair in other areas of your body such as your eyebrows, beard, or eyelashes. Talk to your doctor if your hair feels brittle, ragged, or starts to break easily as this might be a sign of lupus.
