Hi , mmm this is tough one as you would have to be very rigourous with all usual allergy tests before hand
people with Lupus SLE can be a heck of a lot more sensitive than others (allergy wise )

I wouldnt perform on the scalp treatments especially if the client has ever had a history of alopecia
as on the scalp colour treatments or straightening cream that could accidentally touch the scalp and the nuetralizer afterwards
may just become a trigger for alopecia in Lupus patients,

if you do anything chemically
always do skin tests
then test again each and every single time,

My friend has Lupus and cannot get her eyelashes tinted as she is totally allergic,

to be on the safe side , it may be better ( health wise) for your client
to have off the scalp treatments only
especially if she suffers with sensitive skin conditions and photo sensitivity ( sun reactions on the skin )

no one knows exactly what causes Lupus and Lupus can have a nasty habit of flaring up,
Lupus sufferers have to be careful and watch out for potential triggers that may cause a flare up ,
:hug:
 
:)thanks for your reply. I have already carried out tests and have confirmed that my client cannot have any chemical treatments either on scalp or off. My client has now resulted to a wig for a while as she had quite a few bald patches where her hair has not regrown
