Treatment of cutaneous lupus erythematosus

M J Rothe et al. Lupus. 1992 Dec.

Abstract

The mainstays of treatment of cutaneous lupus erythematosus (LE) are topical and intralesional steroids, sunscreen, and the antimalarials. However, the practitioner is often faced with the challenge of cutaneous disease unresponsive to these conventional measures. We present our approach to the management of cutaneous LE and review the literature regarding therapy of refractory disease.
