SUMMARY

1. Acute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (ACLE): erythematous, concentrated on sun exposed areas, malar rash.

2. Subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (SCLE): annular rash. Certain meds trigger this rash such as calcium channel blockers.

3. Chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CCLE)/discoid lupus erythematosus (OLE): hyperpigmented edges, which may be raised, frequently cause central scarring/atrophy with destruction of melanocytes and hair follicles.
