Are There Any Natural Treatments For Lupus

What are my chances of inheriting lupus form my mom?

My mom only has the skin lupus, and not the kind that infects internal structures. I am also male (which I understand lessens your risk?). My father has no autoimmune diseases. I do have a few autoimmune disease however, which include hypothyroidism, and a small area of psoriasis on my leg.

Are there other autoimmune disease I should be concerned about down the road? I’m turning 24 in a few months, and again I am also male.

Answer
Although anyone can get lupus, most estimates show that 9 out of 10 people who contract lupus are women. With it also being 3 times more likely to be found in African American women than white women
