Abstract

Lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease that often affects the skin. Cutaneous manifestations are generally subdivided into different subtypes, including acute, subacute, and chronic courses. Management of lupus erythematosus cutaneous manifestations during pregnancy remains a clinical challenge until nowadays. To date, no recommendations have been published specifically for the treatment of this condition in pregnant women, so therapeutic strategies are mainly based on recommendations for general population and other rheumatologic and dermatologic diseases during pregnancy. This challenge is compounded by a lack of evidence-based studies, as clinical trials in pregnant women are considered unethical in many circumstances, so data are often extrapolated from low-evidence sources. The aim of this article consists in review currently evidence of treatment of lupus erythematosus cutaneous lesion in pregnant women.
