Hello! My mother is suffering from scleroderma lupus. Her doctor prescribed her some antibiotics. Now I am curious: is this means that scleroderma lupus can be treated with antibiotics? If it is, when she will notice improvement? This is very important to me and I hope you will answer me this... Thank you!

Hello! Sometimes doctors prescribe antibiotics in scleroderma lupus treatment, but, unfortunately, this does not mean that antibiotics are healing scleroderma lupus. For scleroderma lupus there is no known cure, but some drugs which her takes (including antibiotics) may improve her condition. I hope this answer helped you a little bit. Have a nice day.
