Symptoms of LUPUS VULGARIS
The lesions of Lupus vulgaris are typically reddish brown. They tend to form a plaque, or raised area in the skin. There are nodules adjacent to this underneath the skin. The peripheral nodules often appear yellow. Usually the lesions are singular. When they occur in areas above cartilage, such as portions of the nose, the cartilage may be destroyed. The head and neck are most frequently involved, the trunk the least likely to be involved. Lesions of the nasal cavity, mouth and outer lining of the eye are frequent sites for involvement.
