[Skin manifestations of lupus erythematosus].

There are multiple forms of cutaneous manifestations of lupus erythematosus. In general strictly cutaneous forms are distinguished from systemic lupus erythematosus with cutaneous involvement. Systemic lupus erythematosus can be regarded either as primarily with skin signs or secundarily after initial involvement of the skin. Typical forms of cutaneous lupus erythematosus are the subacute cutaneous and the discoid form.
