Abstract
Lupus erythematosus (LE) is an inflammatory chronic disorder of the connective tissue. Subcutaneous lupus is an autoimmune disease. Patients with SCLE develop skin rashes or lesions, which affect the most photo-exposed regions, yet in more severe cases, these changes may confluence with each other. Herein, we present the case of a 62-year-old female with a two-year history of SCLE. The first symptoms appeared two days after receiving a flu vaccine. She was treated with antimalarials, yet for two years, the disease only progressed and the condition worsened. Her diabetes was out of control, and she began to have psychosocial difficulties. The condition of other comorbidities should always be monitored, and the medication that will be given should be carefully selected. What is paid little attention to is the psychosocial aspect of the disease, which greatly affects the course of the disease itself and leaves lasting consequences on the patient. Key words: Lupus erythematosus, Antimalarials, Diabetes, Psychosocial life
