Comments:
Skin lesions of discoid lupus erythematosus consist of plaques on sun-exposed areas of the body such as cheeks, the bridge of the nose, ears, neck, and scalp.

Scalp lesions heal with considerable scarring, permanent alopecia, and there may be depigmentation in dark-skinned individuals which can be disfiguring. Scalp involvement is usually a sign of long-standing severe disease.
