Catching the Butterfly: The Dermatologist’s Role in Early Lupus Diagnosis

Because the skin is often where the first visible signs of lupus appear, a dermatologist may be the first to recognize the symptoms that can lead to an early diagnosis.

In this informative presentation, Dr. Spandana Daryani clearly explains the many forms of cutaneous lupus, how dermatologists diagnose and treat them, and why recognizing the skin manifestations of lupus is so important. Her thoughtful, practical guidance can help patients recognize potential warning signs, seek care sooner, and potentially identify systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) at an early stage.

Presenter: Spandana Daryani, MD, Clinical Dermatologist and Associate Professor, School of Medicine, Oregon Health & Sciences University
