Hi, I can understand your concern. Lupus is an immunological disorder there is autoimmunity developed against bodies tissues. Also, normal functioning of immune system is also hamperedSuch patient are prone for developing various types of infection. Further treatment of lupus may further hamper normal functioning of immune system leading to increased chances of infections. Green colored stool in your wife is most likely due to stomach infection. Lupus nephritis is one of the complications of lupus. In it kidney function is hampered significantly and kidney cannot remove water from body leading to retention of water which collected in subcutaneous tissues like in legs in walking patient and in back and legs in bedridden patient. As a part of lupus and underlying fluid collection the skin become fragile and water come out whenever there is catch to overlying skin. You should consult rheumatologist and nephrologist for further evaluation and treatment. Hope this helps you, if so do vote.
