Complications

Complications of DLE include symptom flare-ups, which can exacerbate the condition for several weeks before settling into remission. While the exact triggers for flare-ups remain unknown, prompt management is essential to improve outcomes. Diagnosis of DLE involves a thorough examination of the distribution and clinical appearance of plaques, often confirmed via skin biopsy. Differential diagnosis includes various skin conditions such as lichen planus, actinic keratoses, and squamous cell carcinoma.
