Abstract
A 20-year-old male patient presented with non-healing ulcers of the mouth since 6 months and skin lesions since 2 months. Examination revealed erythematous, disc-like, scaly plaques over the face, nose and scalp, showing signs of healing accompanied by scarring and hypopigmentation. Histopathologic examination verified a diagnosis of Discoid Lupus Erythematosus (DLE). Topical steroids and antifungals were applied to the lesions twice daily for 2 weeks. After 2 weeks of application, all lesions regressed significantly. Presentation of this case could contribute to a better understanding of DLE in clinical practice.
