What are the types of cutaneous lupus erythematosus?

There are three major types of cutaneous lupus. Each type causes a different skin rash.

• Discoid lupus causes coin-shaped, thick, dark/red patches on your cheeks, ears or nose.
• Subacute cutaneous lupus causes ring-shaped lesions on your arms, chest, back or neck.
• Acute cutaneous lupus causes a “butterfly rash” that looks like a sunburn across your nose and cheeks.
