This is the unfortunate reality for many people with lupus. Up to 60 percent of patients with the autoimmune disease have sensitivity to ultraviolet light, a condition called photosensitivity. It can result in skin inflammation or a flare-up of a wide range of lupus symptoms, for example joint pain and fatigue.
For some patients, even the light of a photocopier is enough to trigger the disease’s characteristic angry red rash.
