Discoid lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disorder affecting the skin. The disorder causes a skin rash or lesions that usually appear on the scalp, nose and cheeks. Loss of hair and changes in skin pigment also occur with this disorder. Permanent scarring can occur as lesions regress. Discoid lupus erythematosus is more common in women than men and appears to have a familial linkage. Having discoid lupus does not guarantee that you will develop systemic (body-wide) lupus erythematosus, a far more serious autoimmune disorder that can damage many different organs.
Rhinosinusitis is the inflammation of the nasal passages and sinus cavities. It is usually caused by allergies or an infection. It causes a combination of symptoms of rhinitis, (the medical term for nasal symptoms), and sinusitis, including: Runny nose. Post nasal drip.
Acute bacterial sinusitis in adults most often manifests with more than 7 days of nasal congestion, purulent rhinorrhea, postnasal drip, and facial pain and pressure, alone or with associated referred pain to the ears and teeth. There may be a cough, often worsening at night. Children with acute sinusitis might not be able to relay a history of postnasal drainage or headaches, so cough and rhinorrhea are the most commonly reported symptoms. Other symptoms can include fever, nausea, fatigue, impairments of smell and taste, and halitosis.
