GlossarySubacute Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus

form of lupus causing red, scaly skin lesions

Subacute Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus (SCLE) is a form of lupus that primarily affects the skin, causing red, scaly patches or ring-shaped lesions, often on sun-exposed areas like the face, neck, and arms. Unlike systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), SCLE typically does not involve major internal organs, but it can be associated with mild systemic symptoms and is often triggered or worsened by sun exposure.
