Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Lupus is manifested as a butterfly rush upon your chicks and the back of the nose, or as herpetiform rush which is called Discoid Lupus, with a general musculoskeletal pain, weakness, subfebrile temperature, arthralgias, etc. Antimalarial agents luke Plaquenil (Hydroxychloroquine), once or twice per day, can lessen the progression to SLE (Systemic Lupus Erithematosus) and to reduce the lesions in the skin, especially while sun exposure. You have to avoid sun exposure cos it worsen the skin conditions and use high sun protection cream with SPF 30-50, also topical retinoids can improve the skin manifestation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
