Do mark on face go away if you got discoid lupus?
This depends on the severity of the lesions and the treatment used to control them.
Can someone with lupus have children?
Yes, but there are considerations. It is wise to try to get pregnant when the lupus is in a period of remission rather than flaring. Certain medications might need to be stopped prior to conception. Ask your rheumatologist and ob/gyn. If the patient has any of the lupus clotting factors, the risk of miscarriage is greatly increased. Lupus pregnancies should be treated as high risk, but it is entirely possible to have children if one has lupus.

Lupus is a constellation, not a single star. The constellation contains a very large number of stars and other cosmic objects which have no astrophysical relationship with one another. It is simply that they are located in such a direction, and are so far away, that they appear to move together. The distances to the cosmic objects that make up Lupus range from 19.3 light years (Gliese 588) to 8,950 light years (Lupus-TR-3) . You can take your pick as to which number in that range represents the distance to Lupus.
