What Causes Lumps On The Forehead With History Of Lupus?
My mother has had two lumps on her head for a couple of years. She is in the hospital right now and just as we speak coming out of surgery with a pacemaker but yesterday being diagnosed with lupus. She insists that the lumps on her head are nothing but a friend just told me they should be connected to the screening of lupus. What do you think?

The lump on the forehead can be related to lupus. Your mother should continue treatment lupus with a specific treatment such as anti inflammatory medications or immuno-suppressants. You should consult a rheumatologist for further evaluation.
