Mystery lumps on forehead

Diagnosed with lupus in June but awaiting results from a full panel lab test to give my Dr some more info. Anyone get random knots/ swelling on forehead and upper scalp? Example of current inflammation on forehead

  1. Hi, !

    I have to be honest; I have heard of nodules forming on other parts of the body with Lupus, but generally not on the forehead. Keep in mind, I am by no means an expert on Lupus. There is a rare variant of Lupus that can cause nodules, along with other conditions. I would definitely talk to your doctor about these nodules, if you haven't done so already.

    Best, Erin, Team Member.
