Jeniffer Dreyer Brown, 47, posted an emotional video on her Facebook on July 6 detailing a heartbreaking experience she had at a Laguna Niguel, Calif., nail salon.
Brown said that a manicurist at Happy Nails and Spa denied her a manicure due to the appearance of the inflamed skin on her hands and arms, which is a symptom of lupus.
Lupus is an autoimmune disease, which means that a person’s immune system attacks healthy cells by mistake. It can affect a person’s joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, brain, heart, and lungs. Often, UV rays can cause lupus symptoms to worsen.
