According to the Lupus Foundation of America, IL Chapter's Website-www.lupusil.org: "Cutaneous lupus erythematosus is limited to your skin. Although cutaneous lupus can cause many types of rashes and lesions (sores), the most common kind is raised, scaly and red, but not itchy; it is called a discoid rash because the areas of rash are shaped like disks, or circles." That would be why Seal has the raised marks on his face. You can find many other answers to your questions about Lupus on this website.
