Hello,
Thank You for consulting HealthcareMagic!
It is possible that it can be due to SLE itself or it may also be
due to side effects of medications you might be using for SLE.
However, a Physical examination is mandatory to assess
this since there are variety of other causes that needs to be ruled out.
