Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
"I was diagnosed with Discoid lupus in 2009 and I began using Plaquenil once I stopped breastfeeding. Initially, the only difference I noticed was my hair stopped falling out. After taking Plaquenil for a less than a year my face and neck started turning black. My dermatologist is convinced that Plaquenil is the culprit and just recently confirmed it. Between my rheumatologist and dermatologist they&#039;re trying to find the right medicine that will work. I&#039;ve been using bleaching creams for about 9 months and they haven&#039;t worked well. I tried to come off Plaquenil but I experience bad headaches and hair loss."
