Summary
Cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) is lupus affecting the skin. In this autoimmune disease,
the body's immune system attacks healthy skin. There are 3 main types: Acute cutaneous lupus,
Subacute cutaneous lupus, and Chronic cutaneous lupus ("discoid lupus"). Lupus most often
appears between the ages of 20 and 50 years; it affects women more than men, and it may
happen more in patients with a family history of lupus or other autoimmune diseases.
