Lupus erythematosus is not clear at present, first of all, it has a certain relationship with genes, and it is also related to acquired factors, such as infection, immune disorders, and endocrine abnormalities.

In some patients, round or annular erythema may appear on the extremities, palmar erythema is common, and occasionally urticaria may be seen in bursts and bands. Discoid erythema occurs in 20% of patients, which is characterized by red papules at first, and then gradually increases in size, often composed of papules with clear edges and bright red plaques, and the ** area is raised at first, and finally atrophies and sinks, leaving scars.
