Abstract

Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that can lead to disfiguring scarring and pigmentary changes. This review article provides an overview of the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and treatment options for DLE. Special considerations in the management of DLE, including the role of photoprotection, topical and systemic therapies, and the importance of multidisciplinary care, are discussed. The impact of DLE on quality of life and psychosocial well-being is also addressed. A better understanding of the complexities of DLE can aid clinicians in providing comprehensive care to patients with this challenging condition.
