Abstract :

Subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus is a clinically distinct subset of cases of lupus erythematosus which usually occurs in young and middle aged women. It is characterized by papulosquamous and/or polycyclic lesions in photo distributed pattern. A 35 year old female presented to OP with multiple papulosquamous lesions on frontal, dorsal thorax, abdomen, on lateral side of both upper limbs and in posterior auricular area. She had exfoliation of skin and intense itching all over the body. She also had crusted horny plaques on scalp, dorsal and frontal trunk and in posterior auricular area. The clinical presentation and the laboratory studies were consistent with diagnosis of subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus with scabies. Topical Permethrin for two weeks was given along with oral Ivermectin 12 mg. Horny localized plaques with crusting subsided in 2 weeks. For subacute lupus erythematosus she is given HCQS 200 mg.
