    Acute Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus (ACLE) is a form of lupus that primarily affects the skin, often presenting as a red, butterfly-shaped rash across the cheeks and nose. This condition is typically associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the body's own tissues, leading to inflammation and damage in various organs.
